In Magic Valley, SITUATION everyone has a skunk story By Melissa Davlin A Times-News writer Wild animal encounters aren’t rare in southern Idaho, but one type stands out as especially unpleasant. Almost everyone who has lived in Magic Valley has had — or heard of — close encounters with skunks. Last week, the Times-News asked readers to share their skunk stories. Many responded; here we share just a sampling of the tales. The struggle against skunks is nothing new. Twin Falls resident Dennis Haynes recalled an encounter when he worked for former Twin Falls County Sheriff James Benham, who served from 1954 to 1967. While on patrol in the evening, Haynes noticed a baby skunk wan- dering into the courthouse through an open door. Haynes quickly caught the baby, then decided to take it home to surprise his wife and daughters.
