Skunk season arrives in central Minnesota
It's that time of year again when the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources starts getting skunk-related calls. Homeowners with well-tended lawns are fed up with grub-seeking skunks tearing up the grass. The finest yards seem to attract the pesky critters.
