WTH is up with all the dead skunks everywhere?!

[racegirl]

Someone told me it was because it is mating season...not sure how this makes sense. Are they getting rejected and throwing themselves into traffic or something? Or maybe chasing tail REALLY is deadly.

Yeah I was wondering thing... I've been all over Texas and that's all I see.

Lol went out to Cooper Lake last weekend and saw about ten dead ones! Awfull smell

[Unicorn Jeff]

If I remember correctly they had a rabies outbreak.

[Big Dad]

No kidding , they are on the roads everywhere ?

The armadillos are getting their revenge, and just making it look like roadkill.

Even animals get stupid and do stupid shit while chasing.. wait, you are a chick... while seeking love.

Blunt force trauma.

Has it been cold down there?

If so they are going to the roads for the warmth.

Stupid coons do the same shit.

Rabies and Coyotes are the culprits, apparently. Skunks are being driving out of their natural habitat by land development.

I saw the following on those light-up traffic signs on the way back from Lubbock Sunday night...

"Extreme Wildlife Danger"

Not too sure what that is about, but I did see a yote get plastered trying to cross I20 around Sweetwater...

Dude, I drove back from Beaumont last night. Shit was out of control. I didnt go 30 miles without smelling skunk. BAD. (256 mile trip).

I absolutely noticed the abundance of skunk
