It's skunk mating season in Kansas and that means skunks are on the move.
Striped skunks are classified as furbearing animals and the established hunting and trapping season for Striped skunks closed on February 28th. Eastern spotted skunks are designated as a threatened species. A threatened or endangered species taken during established trapping seasons, or other lawful activity shall not be unlawfully taken if immediately released.
If you observe an Eastern spotted skunk, please contact the local Wildlife Biologist or Game Warden.
