I have a barn on the acreage where a passel of cats live. I feed them in the barn, usually when I go to work. If I have to feed them after dark I always have a .22 along. It has a dutch door so I leave the top part open and peek in before entering. Caught a few possums and skunks at the food bowls this way. The skunks usually spray as they kick the bucket. We can smell it clear up to the house which is a good hundred yards away.
Wife doesn't like the smell but she hates the skunks worse.
Last summer I popped one in the back yard in the middle of the afternoon. Kinda scary to have one out in the middle of the day.
I'm glad I live in the country.
