How do I avoid this situation?

I was taking shots of the moon with my scope at the cottage last Saturday night. Around 3 am I heard a soft "pad-pad-pad" in the grass behind me and for an instant, I thought it was one of my dogs coming up behind me but there was no door bang of them sneaking out. Obviously it must be my neighbors dog who comes to visit. I turned around and 5 feet away and waddling towards me was this big skunk! I don't know who was more surpised. I faded (or fainted) left and he went right so all was good.

Have you guys had wildlife problems and how do I avoid this in the future?
