Put the skunk behind the front door on the inside. Then when they are in,
close the front door and eeek!

Perfect!! I can just see one mounted as a trophy over the fireplace! And
beside it, the .577 Nitro Express gun that was used to bag it. VBG

Thanks for the image,

Oh, I have an even better one.

A buddy of mine from high school (he's worthy of a story in his own right)
inherited a house from his wife's uncle.

The uncle's hobby was taxidermy, but this was a suburban environment and the
old boy wasn't really an avid hunter. So, his solution was to stuff and
mount any dead thing that came into his hands.

He stuffed field mice and pigeons, muskrats and squirrels. His attic was
filled with the stuff.
I grabbed a stuffed porcupine. We put a rhinestone collar on it and used to
keep it by the front door.
At first glance everyone would think it was a small dog greeting them at the
door, then they would look a little closer.
The expressions on their faces were priceless.

Even better, would have been a skunk??
