It's like we have a plague of skunks anyone else having this problem [View all]

So far this year I have caught several in traps. The dog has been sprayed twice I thought we were good. I walked out this morning and saw one waddling from the shed across the driveway to the tree line ,I have no clue why we never have had this many before.
