Seem to be a lot different here, they seem to only go after our bird and squirrel feed after dark.
It seems to happen after midnight.
That could have something to do with our chocolate lab. who hangs out on the back deck when the weather is good.
We seem to get the occasional skunk after dark also. Got the dog one night. She was not happy about that. Neither were the humans that had to wash her.
