The most frequent times that the animal has been spotted roaming around the outside of the cafeteria and feasting on trash which sets in the back of Pegram Hall, are during the early morning hours.

According to Todd Buchannon at the Nature Science Center there are special traps that can be used to trap the skunks called Hab’a’hart traps, which are wire traps with one entrance and no exit. Buchannon said,” Skunks are scavengers just like racoons. They hang around areas where the food is plentiful and the temperature is warm. Here on campus Sam Rogers, a member of the Physical Plant Staff, is in charge of trash pick-up. He says trash is picked up once a day, either in the morning or the afternoon. Rogers is aware there is a skunk on campus. He explained skunks feed on trash that is left overnight or is brought out after his daily pick-up. He also explained why students smell the lingering skunk odor. The slightest little noise or comotion causes the animal to become excited and set in motion its defense mechanism.
