Get your animals vaccinated!! I live around Stephenville, and killed a rabid skunk in my horse pasture. And there's been 4 rabies cases in Stephenville.

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.

It wasn't this bad here last year :(.
The skunks are EVERYWHERE this year (it is breeding season), it just seems to me there are 500x more skunks this year
