Skunks have a mating season that stretches from the beginning of February through the end of March. During this time, you may notice more sightings of skunks and an increase of "skunk smell" in the area as male skunks will start looking for a female mate to breed with. If the male finds a female and she is not interested, she will emit a scent to repel the male, which is why there is an increase in skunk odor during mating season. I captured this game camera video of two skunks at our barn property. It appears that the smaller skunk, on the right, may have got a rejection notice by its reaction at the end of the video.
