Location: Texas		It's been bad here ( central Texas) last three years. Vet called us two years ago some horse come back positive about five miles down the road from us. Lady had been " home treating" it for a week and had no idea it was rabies. Couple months ago a guy picked up a cat that had been hit by a car and it bit him on the way to the vet. Since it was a stray when it died they sent the head in for testing per regulations not thinking anything of it It came back positive. ( client is in animal control so between my vet and her we are kept in the loop thank God) like F1 said. Keep those critters vaccinated! If one ( like feral barn cat) comes back positive the whole barn is in quarantine even if everything else had rabies vaccinations. Good shooting F1!

I live in E Tx. Rabies is a serious problem here too.

We used to hunt in central TX and the rancher's granddaughter's horse got rabies.  Three people had to have rabies shots.  This was about a $30,000 horse and was about 1990. so it is not a new problem.  I have been giving my horses rabies shots since then.

The skunks are EVERYWHERE this year (it is breeding season), it just seems to me there are 500x more skunks this year
