I spilled fox urine on my hand. It's still mildly smelly after scrubbing with a nailbrush and geranium soap.
(If you're wondering why fox urine, I was warding the chicken yards from chipmunks who steal all the food from Stumpy, our toeless chicken.)

I'm intrigued by the idea of hunting foxes in drag. Would the men need to ride sidesaddle? :-D In a cartoon, of course, the fox would be in drag, in a fetching feathered hat and sleek slit dress.

hmmm, always been curious about sidesaddle, but riding in drag, ouch ;-)

In the system that I have, you pour an ounce of the urine into a small bottle with a cotton ball at the bottom and perforations at the top, and then you hang it in the area. I did the classic bad move of placing the bottle on a flat surface and trying to pour into it, rather than holding it and pouring into it, which gives you better accuracy.
Okay, now three people have asked where I got fox urine, but no one has asked why I have a toeless chicken!

I know. I scare my friends too.
D: Hurray for accuracy?
I've seen a lot of weird things?
BTW, why do you have a toeless chicken? and how does he balance?

See the next thread. In short, the poor thing was a rescue bird.
...how does he balance?
There's a large enough pad, even with the toes gone, for her to run around just fine. Basically, she has wedge-shaped feet. She can't perch though, because she has nothing to grip with.
(The bird in my icon has no such problems. She's a retired show chicken.)

But how did it lose its toes D:

Is it related to your losing that other bird you had a little while ago? Or are you just accustomed to having several animals around at a time?
Chipmunks are rare around here... I swear I've only seen one on-campus in the 4 years I've been going to school here; the (completely fearless) squirrels are much more common. ^^;; Good luck with your pest problems! Maybe I should suggest the fox-urine thing to my aunt and uncle; squirrels or something are always eating the tomatos and apples and whatever they have growing in their yard....

Chipmunks were rare here, until the street got too busy and we started keeping the cats in. Now they're a pest -- a darling one, fortunately, but a pest. The problem is that they're hoarders, and will take far more food than they can possibly eat. We coat the poles for the bird feeders with vaseline when we think of it, because they'll empty both out in a day. Sliding chipmunks are entertaining. ;-)
I'd love to live further out in the country, so we could have a rooster -- so chicks! -- and other things.
