Spilogale gracilis
Wilson Ranch, north of Wilson Canyon, 4600 ft., Lyon Co., Nev.
Dec. 28, into a corner & there
put the pipe down near
it & with a broom I
pushed the animal into
the pipe & then into
a sack & carried the
"picking" animal to a
small stream & drowned
it without it stinking.
It was a fat skunk &
I noted where it had been
feeding on the bacon
& hams that were
stored in the building.
