I got no quarrel with skunks, drove one from the park home in the bodywork of my car back in November, posted about it here. My heeler kills them, possums too. The odor doesn’t bother either of us.

Having been in fear of drowning a couple of times myself (both times in the Hudson) I’m not sure I’d wanna drown anything, feels too much like karma.

I have killed starlings in a trap with a hose, car exhaust and a trash bag to enclose the trap. It’s easier tho to cave in their skull with your thumb or just pull their heads off.

I’d just prefer to shoot a skunk.
