He stamped his feet, I hissed at him and we both backed away from each other. I figured I could hose the nest down another day.
Next morning the hive was a big hole in the ground. There were a few lonely survivors buzzing around. Didn't know skunks ate nests like that. Cannot imagine how much the skunk was stung.
