What happened on 2-1-14?

No real activity for months before this date and then all kinds of critters show up on the same day. Unfortunately no cats.

 If I knew more about what makes animals move and when they move I'd be a shooter instead of a hunter! I didn't realize we had civet cats in this area. I've seen almost everything but in all the years I've spent out there I've never seen a civet cat.

I've still haven't seen a spotted skunk on this side of the mountains. Maybe they're like deer and elk and loose their spots when they get older.

Love the skunk coat!!
That is crazy that everything moved on that day...

So, where did you see them call it a civet cat? The only reference I know of civet cats is from Africa... I know my dad and his buddies always called the spotted skunk a "polecat"... no idea why.

I first heard it from my father in the late 70's when he was trapping. Have always called them that since. Most recently I read it on WDFW at the link I posted above.
