Skunk Hat

The other night I watched an old Hollywood western, in which one of the characters wore a skunk hat. Now I want one, preferably with skunk head still displayed, as to the right.

You can order yours here. $195.00, but worth every penny.

We don't have the dual white stripe skunks around here (at least not that I've seen). All ours have one big stripe down the back, but those of you who want some please feel free to take as many as you can get.

I have a friend that has one. He was wearing it on his motorcycle and it blew off. He ran back to get it and looked up to see a bunch of kids in a minivan watching him put it back on his head. The look on their faces was unforgettable!! "Mom, that guy just put a dead skunk on his head." He traps critters (raccoon, beaver, coyote and skunk) himself and sends the fur out to be made into a cap. There's nothing warmer than a fur cap.

Another time, we stopped to pick up some road kill. He bagged it and put it in the back of the truck. We picked up speed and the wind caught the bag and blew out onto the wind shield of a passing truck. Do 'possums fly???
