Close Encounters and unimaginable luck.

Tonight was almost a really good night, really bad night, or a really lucky night. I'm not sure which applies to either one of us in this particular encounter. Anyway as usual I make a trip to my rural property to feed the local felines, and handle any raccoons that may be present. Unsurprisingly I saw a possum when I pulled up, but since it wasn't being a pest and made a quick retreat I ignored it. Once the cats were fed I started to go up to my spinner targets until I caught a glimpse of an odd shape in the darkness. I go back to the truck, pull out the old wildcat and throw on my makeshift night vision setup and get a good look at the trespasser, a skunk.
