While working in the side yard this afternoon, a skunk came staggering out from behind a shed. He'd take 3 wobbly steps and fall, get back up and fall again. I got the 9422 and when he got about 25 feet into the woods, I shot him. He wasn't foaming at the mouth. What are signs that a skunk is rabid? And...the shot was really about 400 yards with a 25 mph crosswind...no it wasn't.
