Back in the old days, when I trapped, we'd catch a few skunks, every year, while fox trapping. The only time I ever killed a skunk, without spraying, was shooting him about 2" above the base of the tail, and completely severing the spine. Back legs didn't work, no spray. Then I would shoot them in the head. Only problem was, if you didn't hit the spine exactly right....well you can guess the rest!
