Al the hunter! Great work defending off the homestead from the stench of evil! Figaro is lucky you don't have a quick trigger finger too. And that thumbnail is GOLD!
That was great. I burst out laughing a couple of times when you kitted up to tackle the skunks. Hilarious. I would have draped myself in super large garbage bags. Glad you didn't get sprayed. Probably you did lock them in the night before. I guess from now on you have to do a pre-lock up reconnaissance mission because now the skunks know where to find eggs.
OH MY GOSH! HILLLLLARIOUS! Poor Olivia the look on her face I had to chuckle a little bit. So glad you guys didn't get initiated by those little "STINKERS" 😂😂😂😂 Have a blessed day! Hugs to y'all
LOL! I think this might have been one of your best videos yet. It had everything. Drama, suspense, humor. I had a good chuckle watching it. Loved your battle gear Al. Skunk tactical gear at its finest. LOL! Glad to see that you and Olivia didn't get sprayed. Thanks for the laughs. - All the best. ~ Theresa
Al looked like he was going on a Special Forces black ops mission when he had that shirt on his head! I was rolling! Glad you & Olivia didn’t get sprayed!
I’ve dealt with several skunks in the barns, and even under the house! That was a fun one. Everyone laughs except for the the guy fighting the skunk. Lol.
When I live trap skunks, I approach the trap behind a tarp, hold the tarp liked a wall, they won't spay until they see an animal ie you, plus your behind a tarp, if you need a free hand, wrap the tarp over a pole so it's held open.
I'm laughing my head off. That was funny. I think I've got to watch the couple more times or I go show it to the grandkids. Thanks for the entertainment
New Yolk City fence is under the tree with overhanging branches. The skunks climbed the tree and navigated the overhanging branches to get into the chicken yard around New Yolk City. Move the fence away from the tree, or enclose all the tree in the fencing.
I cried laughing at you guys but at the same time I was concerned. I watch you guys everyday at 6am while I'm starting my day. Due to the hurricane and power outages I missed starting my day with you for 2 days!!
Never a dull moment on Lumnah Acres LOL! 😱😨😵 I am glad no one got sprayed too, I can imagine poor Pluto 🐕and all that curly hair! It would take gallons of tomato juice🍅🍅 to get the stink off. Thanks for another enjoyable video, love from our family to yours 🤗💜💙💛❤️️🧡💚
Candide Thirtythree The newest way to get rid of skunk spray is 3 cups baking soda 1/4 cup of dish soap or simple green and 2 cups of peroxide. Mix well and rub into the poor person or animal and wash off. Repeat as needed. It worked well for my poor neighbors when they surprised a skunk at 1am. Luckily for them they had closed the car door just a few seconds before it was startled. LOL
Great work with the excavator! As for the skunks - I had a skunk try to make its home under my chicken coop. I ran bright lights on the coop for two weeks. The lights ran the skunks off. They hate bright lights. My guess is the skunks will be back. Easy to get eggs are worth it for them.
Dawn dish soap, baking soda & peroxide mixture works great in case you or Pluto gets sprayed. Skunks still can go through electronet, unfortunately and they can climb. Throw a bunch of lime on the area if you shoot or trap them. Good luck. Al, the stump and skunk whisperer 🤣
Oh you had the shot when you opened the door to the nest box! I would have ended it there. Skunks are tenacious and they will be back. They looked young which means mom and others are probably nearby. Surprised they didn't attack your chickens while in the coop.
@@LumnahAcres It will depend on if it is an instant kill or not. Staying up wind is always a good idea too when you can which could apply to shooting in the coop or not. If the wind was coming in from the main door and blowing towards the laying boxes, would be ideal but if the wind was blowing from the laying boxes towards the main door, I wouldn't chance it.
This is by far the funniest and most awesomest video you have done Al, I commend you on your videography you have come a long way on composing your camera angles. For your sake I hope the skunks don’t come back, but for our entertainment I am hoping something interesting in the near future for us .... lol stay safe Lumnah family God bless y’all
Those were some BIG juveniles. The mama must be huge. Glad Figaro didn't get caught in your crosshairs as he was helping checkout the hen house with you.
OMG when you came out of the house with all your gear on, loaded for bear I roared with laughter! It was sooo funny! Thank goodness you and Olivia didn't get sprayed. 🤭😆
OH NOOO!! I HATE SKUNKS!! I watch your utube every day now. I miss our little farm and it makes me feel like part of your family by being able to watch your daily routines. Keep up your positive attitudes, you are a beautiful family and you bring joy to others.
Haha haha. Loved this video! It cracked me up! The look on Olivia's face! Priceless! To think you were smelling it so strong when you let the chickens out and they were in there the entire time. Now that they know where the eggs are they will be back. I dont mind the smell of skunk but I def don't want to be sprayed by one. We had a skunk visitor to the farm and my dog wanted to "play" with it. Thank goodness she listens, so she didn't get sprayed but it sure didn't want to leave.
I've had to shoot many skunks in my day, only 1 didn't spray when I shot it , I sivered the spinal coard when I shot it! I had to shoot one in side the barn once ! Whew, I don't want to do that again!
I gardened at night. If I did it in the daytime I'd go blind in 1 eye after 15-20 mins with the 2nd eye following 10-20 mins after that plus get 2nd & 3rd-degree burns. I'd come in the house my cat would let me grab his tail then I'd say the name of the room I wanted to go to and he'd promptly take me there. He's so smart, I thank the Universe, that it sent me him & that my eyesight always came back within a 1/2 hour or so. My cat 'Lemur' even asked if 1 of the females skunks could come and live with us 1 summer day......what I did not know was that she was pregnant. But that's a story for another day. I so enjoy your videos. TYVM for all the time and effort you put into them. n
Back in another life for me, we had chickens and my then hubby (now departed) he had to shoot them inside the chicken house, I remember that night for sure. I agree you should have sniped them and put them down. Good luck avoiding anymore shenanigans from skunks.
What a great video! I'm grateful that all of your chickens survived. I laughed a little too hard at "clearing" New Yolk City and your tactical gear was epic!
They can spray as tiny babies,so for sure those guys could spray. I used to work at a wildlife rehab and even the tiny, eyes just open babies could spray if startled.
As one who has come nose-to-nose with a big mama skunk and her six new born babies I can fully understand your surprise. I could have gone viral if someone had been filming. Not something I want to repeat!
Get a live skunk trap and bait it with eggs quickly before they're back again. If you get an open version you can kill them from a far with your gun, and if Figaro or anyone else gets trapped you can just let them out again.
@@LumnahAcres Ever get the live trap and get rid of them? Once upon a time I had skunk problems eating the feral cat's food in the stables. I caught cats, raccoons and skunks in live traps. When released, the cats never ventured inside one again, but the others were taken for a "ride" then disposed of. So how was I able to put a live skunk into the back of my RTV (side-by-side)? Very carefully. I found that if they could not see me (feet, hands, head, etc.), and I moved slowly, they would not spray. Here's how: with something large, like a beach towel, cardboard, paper sack, walk up very slowly with it in front of you so you are hidden. Very slowly cover the cage. Do nothing suddenly. Now you can pick up the cage by the top handle and carefully move it to where you need. As mentioned I put it in the back of the RTV and drove off. As long as the skunk never sees you, all is well. I placed the cage on the ground in the middle of a pasture and opened the end. When the skunk walked out and wandered off a safe distance, I made sure it never returns.
You can use vinegar and baking soda as a cleaning agent to help cut the smell. I use it on dogs that have been skunked but it can also be used on bedding, kennels, runs, etc. It's about the only thing that will help....but every time it gets wet, it will revive the smell a bit.
Might want to see Doug & Stacey’s video on Skunk spray remedy, probably good to have on hand. They will most likely be back now they have a taste for eggs. Memories from childhood farm came back when you were describing the smell, dad shot one under our front porch. It smelt forever!
The apple wood you have cut and even maybe the roots (but not sure on them) would be good to keep and use in the smoker. I have heard others use apple wood like this.
Great video Al! So glad y’all didn’t get skunked. I have to say you’re looking a lot less stressed. Semi-retirement looks good on ya. Just saying you look happier working on your farm. I hope I’m saying all that right, it’s meant as a compliment. God Bless~Lisa
Juvenile skunks do spray and they come out during the day sometimes. I've had them in my yard at noon time walking around. Last time I shot one it released the stink as it died. I'll never do that again.
Too funny...Al, the Ninja skunk warrior... Glad y'all didn't get sprayed. .that fresh scent is so much more intense that roadkill scent..makes your eyes water.. soooo.was the electric netting energized while you were gone? Enjoy the day...
😂😂😂 I totally laughed out loud when you got scared from Figaro! It was funny watching the chickens run away from you around the fence as you investigated the coop. I was hoping you would say something in an "Elmer Fudd" voice as you were carry your gun to find those waskoey critters. 😂 If there is a skunk on the farm, the chicken coop is the first place they're going to go!
Oh my goodness, the skunks freaked me out! I know they did you guys too! Nice job with the tactical pellet gun with light though! Too funny and a great video! 🌼
Whew! So glad you didn't get sprayed, I lived in the suburbs when I was younger and sometimes a skunk would be hit by a car and we'd smell skunk for a day! Ugh! You were ready for war with that gun! Don't shoot it's just me! Hahaha!
I just came across your channel and you are a really sweet family and I look forward to doing some of the things that you and your family does such as making cheese it’s
I'm having a problem with skunks in my hen house too. Caught image of him along with a possum on my trail cam. It took a dump in the hen house and it stank like skunk until I removed it.
With your boulder.. Maybe try digging all around it. Deep enough on one side to roll it into that hole...(deep as you can) I've buried a lot of things to big to pick up.... But i could push them... Just a thought...
Following up on this comment. I would have moved to the opposite side if the boulder and continued digging on each side to loosen the dirt around the boulder. Then reach over the boulder and try and pull the bucket under the stone and lift it up to get it lose from the dirt. The closer you are to the center pin of the excavator the more lift and pull you have. If you can get it to wiggle then you may be able to roll it out of the hole. Once you can move it either leave it exposed for a climbing rock pile or dig the hole deeper and bury it below the surface and let the pasture grow over it. That is a small machine and those big rocks can easily overpower it. Good luck.
oh no AL hope ya have dawn dish soap,peroxide,and baking soda gets rid of the skunk smell,, works good on dogs to.. no AL i found out the hard way many years ago that skunks can spray as soon as they can see..oh the stories of where i have found them and the many ways i took care of them i could tell.. have a blessed and safe day
skunks are like ferrets, if they can get their nose into a hole they can squeeze their whole body through. I've been sprayed once and it's not pleasant, I was physically sick for about 3 days. Glad you and your daughter are ok.
About five years ago I had a family of skunks who set up house keeping under my house. One night I was rudely awaken to a smell so strong til I literally gaged me. I had no idea how to lear them into my trap until the morning I caught a baby skunk on my back porch eating my cat food. I bought me some tuna, dripped the juice into a line towards the trap, put a bit of the tuna at the front and put the rest of the can in the back. I caught 13 that year!! Once I caught a baby and a mama together! Showed me a very good illustration of how important it is to lead your children in the right direction in life! My trap was set up just off my back porch. I could stand on my porch and quietly drop a blanket over the trap. Skunks won't spray you if the are covered, I'm told. It worked for me. I had a horse trough setting beside the trap. I would then walk down off the porch, get ahold of the trap and quickly lower it into the trough, trap, blanket and skunk for a simple baptismal! Yeah, I'm a 66year old grandma who lives by myself and had no other options. Did you know that animal catchers won't come and get trapped skunks? Ours won't. So ya gotta do what you gotta do! I know have a 100 Bassett hound that keeps the varmints away.
Have you guys been to Owl’s Head in Groton State Park. It’s a must in the fall. Keep a large 48oz can of tomato juice to wash any animal that gets skunked.
Great video as always! I love that Olivia had her hand over her heart like it was beating out of her chest when you opened the egg door. Poor kid, got her adrenaline pumping :0 How did the skunks get past the electric poultry netting?
Febreeze is a decent skunk stink treatment. We try to have a gallon of it around just in case. Its awesome to see how much you have got done this year, you must be pleased. I do have a question.....have you ever considered New Hampshire Red Chickens?
They always find a way in!! Your lucky Al I had 3 get in my coop with meat chickens and they killed 10 of them and had them in layers coop and they killed 5
Oh Al. Skunks can spray from when they are very small, you just didn't corner those ones. I lived in a rental place that in less than two years,trapped,shot,and killed 28 of the damn things. I did learn from an old trapper guy that when you shoot them you take the chance of them spraying if you don't hit them right. He advised gut shooting them,for some reason they won't spray when you do and they'll go off somewhere to die. Just make sure they can't get up under your house,garage or any building you need to spend anytime in. I did about the last 6 that way and he was right.

So good you and Olivia did not get sprayed! What an adventure! Thanks for taking us along!
Al the hunter! Great work defending off the homestead from the stench of evil!
Figaro is lucky you don't have a quick trigger finger too.
And that thumbnail is GOLD!
Making memories! Olivia will remember that moment with Dad well into her old age. Well done.
"And No Skunks were harmed making this video" good one Al, !!
Thank you AL for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐈🐖🐐🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍

Probably you did lock them in the night before. I guess from now on you have to do a pre-lock up reconnaissance mission because now the skunks know where to find eggs.
gabriella kadar I’ve found a possum in the coop at lockup time. ALWAYS check before closing up the chickens. Good rule. 👌
Yup. 😂
Also, was the chicken fence hot? Did the skunks sneak under a fence that had electric current or was it not on?
Wait ... how did they get past the electric fence?
Right.
Hilarious 🤣. That was an awesome laugh and Olivia can move real fast when needed!! Great video Al! XOXOXOXO
OH MY GOSH! HILLLLLARIOUS! Poor Olivia the look on her face I had to chuckle a little bit. So glad you guys didn't get initiated by those little "STINKERS" 😂😂😂😂 Have a blessed day! Hugs to y'all
You with your tactical pellet gun and anti skunk camouflage, reminds me of Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits! Hilarious!
Call of Duty - Homestead Ops
I get the same grief with my battle with ground squirrels. Damn varmints!
i is now 9-30-2020 and I just saw this video and your comment. A person always loves a good laugh and you gave me a good belly laugh! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the laughs Robert, I was thinking on those lines too.🤣😂😱🤢🤭
😂
You handed that very good.You are a good example on how to be handed I check every day so so think of y'all as part it out family.
Really enjoyed this vid. So happy no one sprayed and no chickens lost. You were so lucky.
LOL! I think this might have been one of your best videos yet. It had everything. Drama, suspense, humor. I had a good chuckle watching it. Loved your battle gear Al.

This episode is a "stink'n" comedic thriller and a cliff hanger! LOVED IT!
I’ve dealt with several skunks in the barns, and even under the house! That was a fun one. Everyone laughs except for the the guy fighting the skunk. Lol.
this was STINKING hilarious ... You are an awesome guy man! thank you so much for the footage!
Great work with your Modern Steader blunderbuss you knight in laundry armor!
Hahahahaha
Love it.
leslie: excellent! LOL!
When I live trap skunks, I approach the trap behind a tarp, hold the tarp liked a wall, they won't spay until they see an animal ie you, plus your behind a tarp, if you need a free hand, wrap the tarp over a pole so it's held open.
I'm laughing my head off. That was funny. I think I've got to watch the couple more times or I go show it to the grandkids. Thanks for the entertainment

That was a fun video. Poor Olivia! 😳 she was a bit surprised and she was very close. Funny!
Those are very discerning skunks. A beautiful warm spot for the winter.
I cried laughing at you guys but at the same time I was concerned. I watch you guys everyday at 6am while I'm starting my day. Due to the hurricane and power outages I missed starting my day with you for 2 days!!
I'm just grinning ear to ear watching this. Also, I totally love the name New Yolk City!!!
Never a dull moment on Lumnah Acres LOL! 😱😨😵
I am glad no one got sprayed too, I can imagine poor Pluto 🐕and all that curly hair! It would take gallons of tomato juice🍅🍅 to get the stink off.
Thanks for another enjoyable video, love from our family to yours 🤗💜💙💛❤️️🧡💚
Candide Thirtythree The newest way to get rid of skunk spray is 3 cups baking soda 1/4 cup of dish soap or simple green and 2 cups of peroxide. Mix well and rub into the poor person or animal and wash off. Repeat as needed. It worked well for my poor neighbors when they surprised a skunk at 1am. Luckily for them they had closed the car door just a few seconds before it was startled. LOL
Yeah that would not be good if Pluto got sprayed by a skunk!🤢😷
Not if...….when. And tomato juice doesn't work but the soap, peroxide mix does. Time for a racoon live trap.
Great work with the excavator! As for the skunks - I had a skunk try to make its home under my chicken coop. I ran bright lights on the coop for two weeks. The lights ran the skunks off. They hate bright lights. My guess is the skunks will be back. Easy to get eggs are worth it for them.
There is never a dull moment on any of your videos. I couldn't help but laugh about your skunk adventure. Great video.
That what I call, "Gettin' rid of dat Stump" Great video, especially the fun bit
Omg I love ur cat. He follows u everywhere. Up for any adventure ur down for lol. Always by your side.
Dawn dish soap, baking soda & peroxide mixture works great in case you or Pluto gets sprayed. Skunks still can go through electronet, unfortunately and they can climb. Throw a bunch of lime on the area if you shoot or trap them. Good luck.

Oh no! Skunk!! Yesterday's video was awesome. Glad you got it out of there.
Good job on the stumps. Looks like they'll be back since they got so comfy. Good luck on trapping them.

I'm a new sub. Really enjoyed your video. Life on the farm. Love it!

Thanks
Hey guys. They are climbing that tree just outside the fence and dropping in off the limb. Just move the fence to include your tree.
But how did they get back out again?
I left the fans off once I knew the skunks are in New York City I wanted them to leave! LOL
selador11 all they have to do is jump up enough to catch that limb. Same way they get up on the nesting boxes.
They will be back. They have a great new food source. Good luck with them !!
I love your videos the one with the skunks is the funniest one lol you and your daughter jumping back ♡
Juvenile skunks do spray and they come out during the day sometimes. I've had them in my yard at noon time walking around. Last time I shot one it released the stink as it died. I'll never do that again.
Perfect farm lyf....magnificent Dude,I envy this natural lifestyle
Too funny...Al, the Ninja skunk warrior...

.that fresh scent is so much more intense that roadkill scent..makes your eyes water..

I'm having a problem with skunks in my hen house too. Caught image of him along with a possum on my trail cam. It took a dump in the hen house and it stank like skunk until I removed it.
Al if you can get that giant boulder out of the ground it would be perfect for the goats to climb on.
With your boulder..
Maybe try digging all around it. Deep enough on one side to roll it into that hole...(deep as you can)
I've buried a lot of things to big to pick up....
But i could push them...

Once you can move it either leave it exposed for a climbing rock pile or dig the hole deeper and bury it below the surface and let the pasture grow over it. That is a small machine and those big rocks can easily overpower it. Good luck.

Eggs and chicken feed. Two favorite foods of a skunk. Probably nesting in a burrow close by
Oh my goodness, that was hilarious and amazing!!
Nice job moving those stumps. Crazy day!
I am always watching your daily videos, and I think this is the funniest one or one of the funniest you have 😂😂
skunks are like ferrets, if they can get their nose into a hole they can squeeze their whole body through. I've been sprayed once and it's not pleasant, I was physically sick for about 3 days. Glad you and your daughter are ok.
About five years ago I had a family of skunks who set up house keeping under my house. One night I was rudely awaken to a smell so strong til I literally gaged me. I had no idea how to lear them into my trap until the morning I caught a baby skunk on my back porch eating my cat food. I bought me some tuna, dripped the juice into a line towards the trap, put a bit of the tuna at the front and put the rest of the can in the back. I caught 13 that year!! Once I caught a baby and a mama together! Showed me a very good illustration of how important it is to lead your children in the right direction in life! My trap was set up just off my back porch. I could stand on my porch and quietly drop a blanket over the trap. Skunks won't spray you if the are covered, I'm told. It worked for me. I had a horse trough setting beside the trap. I would then walk down off the porch, get ahold of the trap and quickly lower it into the trough, trap, blanket and skunk for a simple baptismal! Yeah, I'm a 66year old grandma who lives by myself and had no other options. Did you know that animal catchers won't come and get trapped skunks? Ours won't. So ya gotta do what you gotta do! I know have a 100 Bassett hound that keeps the varmints away.
Have you guys been to Owl’s Head in Groton State Park. It’s a must in the fall. Keep a large 48oz can of tomato juice to wash any animal that gets skunked.
Olivia and you were so brave😊👍😊
Great video as always! I love that Olivia had her hand over her heart like it was beating out of her chest when you opened the egg door. Poor kid, got her adrenaline pumping :0 How did the skunks get past the electric poultry netting?
5:40 - if you watch Moose come out of New Yolk City, he's walking like he's "drunk"! 😂
I’m afraid I laughed a lot about the skunk hunt! Lol😂😂😂😂
Febreeze is a decent skunk stink treatment. We try to have a gallon of it around just in case. Its awesome to see how much you have got done this year, you must be pleased. I do have a question.....have you ever considered New Hampshire Red Chickens?
Oh don't let Pluto out!!! Then again, Stacy's antistink concoction worked for their dog 😉
Hahaha reminded me of bill murray in Caddyshack. I'm wondering how they got past the electric fencing??? Figaro almost got blasted!!
Your tactical set up reminded me of the movie Caddyshack. lol
I love your pig's
Wow! I need that backhoe here at my house! That thing works wonders!
They always find a way in!! Your lucky Al I had 3 get in my coop with meat chickens and they killed 10 of them and had them in layers coop and they killed 5
Thourghly enjoyed this video! Thankx 4 sharing
Oh Al. Skunks can spray from when they are very small, you just didn't corner those ones. I lived in a rental place that in less than two years,trapped,shot,and killed 28 of the damn things. I did learn from an old trapper guy that when you shoot them you take the chance of them spraying if you don't hit them right. He advised gut shooting them,for some reason they won't spray when you do and they'll go off somewhere to die. Just make sure they can't get up under your house,garage or any building you need to spend anytime in. I did about the last 6 that way and he was right.
