If any of you have ever camped in the only campground on Martha's Vineyard, you are not afraid of skunks, at least the skunks there.
At dusk, the skunks wander out of the woods that surround the campground, and walk around looking for snacks. Now when I say skunks, there are literally dozens of them. They are not afraid of humans, and they don't spray.
Wife and I were sitting at the picnic table playing cards one night, and we felt something rubbing against our legs, and could feel fur. Look down and sure enough....it was a skunk. If you scream and run away, you could get sprayed. But if you just sit and watch them, no problem, they are just like a cat.
