Skunks are excellent diggers and like to make their dens in holes underground. A skunk living under a shed or deck from April to September should ALWAYS be assumed to be a mother with babies. Be careful, as you don't want to orphan the baby skunks. Skunks are excellent mothers and will move their babies to a new den site when frightened, but evicting a mother skunk always runs the risk that she might abandon or become separated from her babies.
