Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints 1 less skunk

Phew!

Ahhhhh...... The outdoors finest perfume.

I actually don't mind the smell of skunk

Do you tend to have a stopped up nose?

Me either.

When I catch a Skunk I shoot em in the lungs and let em stink up the trap site. I have to wait until the next day to reset but after that, it's tolerable.

Shot this one a couple weeks ago. I walked by the spot I shot it on Saturday and it still smelled.
1 less skunk in my woods too

It is good to know that others have the same skunk problem. I think the mate of the one I just shot is hanging around looking for it. I have smelled it close a couple of times this past week.

It stinks after being shot, but less that when the dog, or me, or both of us get sprayed.

Nice ar in the picture above by the way. I just use a 10/22 with a hollow point bullet. But, I like my 10/22 enough not to get it that close.

I only seem to see skunks at night. The laser on my 22 is perfect for this.

Driving around in pastures for 36 years I ran over 1 that was in thick weeds did not know it until I got out of the truck to pick up a yote I shot open the door and wow parked the truck at my place put bleach in a bowl in the floorboard 2 weeks before I drove it again. And i use it for cover scent so having your back tire on 1 isn't the same

Me either, fond trapping memories from my youth whenever I catch a whiff of skunk.
