This report discusses the skunk in relation to habitat, ecosystem and humans beyond its furbearer benefits.
Rose Lake Wildlife Research Area is located on the border of Shiawassee and Clinton counties, 12 mi northeast of Lansing. Mammals have been an object of study on the research area since its founding in 1938. Through the years, records have been collected on mammals frequenting the area. The amount of data gathered, as well as the methods used for collection, were not consistent from year to year. Therefore, the records are not complete enough to document population sizes or fluctuations. They do, however, provide knowledge of the mammal species present on the area and give an indication of their relative abundance. The purpose of this report is to document the presence and relative abundance of all species of mammals known or thought to be present on the Rose Lake Area from 1938 through 1980.
This report presents estimates of trapper catch of some of Michigan's important furbearers for the 1981-82 trapping seasons. Presented for comparison are the results of similar mail surveys conducted after the 1970-71 and 1980-81 seasons. No mail surveys were conducted or estimates available during the nine year interim period because of rapidly increasing numbers of sportsman's license holders who were authorized to trap during that time period. The species included in this report are the muskrat (Ondatra zibethica), mink (Mustela vison), raccoon (Procyon lotor), opossum (Didelphis marsupialis), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), weasels (Mustela sp.), red fox (Vulpes fulva), gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), coyote (Canis latrans), bobcat (Lynx rufus), beaver (Castor canadensis), and river otter (Lutra canadensis).

This report presents estimates of trapper catch and estimates of pelt values of some of Michigan's important furbearers for the 1982-83 trapping seasons.

The species included in this report are the muskrat (Ondatra zibethica), mink (Mustela vison) , raccoon (Procyon lotor), opossum (Didelphis marsupialis), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), weasels (Mustela sp.), red fox (Vulpes fulva), gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus). coyote (Canis latrans), bobcat (Lynx rufus), beaver (Castor canadensis), and river otter (Lutra canadensis).

This report presents estimates of trapper catch of some of Michigan's important furbearers for the 1980-81 trapping seasons. The estimates are generated from responses to mail survey questionnaires. Presented for comparison are the results of similar mail surveys conducted after the 1969-70 and 1970-71 seasons. The species included in this report are the muskrat (Ondatra zibethica) , mink (Mustela vison), raccoon (Procyon lotor), opossum (Didelphis marsupialis), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), weasels (Mustela sp.), red fox (Vulpes fulva), and coyote (Canis latrans). Estimates for beaver (Castor canadensis), river otter (Lutra canadensis), and bobcat (Lynx rufus), are available from mandatory registration counts.
