Yep, shoot em, a damn skunk came out from under the next to the last East cattle guard and charged Wife and me one evening walking to the mailbox, told Wife to plug her ears as i yanked Glock 21 off my belt, hit low directly in front of the charging skunk, enough rock, gravel, dirt and debris from the 200gr lehigh penetrator bullet impact killed it, he never sprayed, went on and got the mail, came back with tractor bucket and buried him on the railroad right of way LOL! Gunner, I would have done the Same thing! Ain't a darn thing gonna get between me and my Woman! LOL! Funny how that happens huh? brushed her around and to the left rear as i worked in front of her while drawing and telling her to stay on my back, just like we trained for Africa, if a rodeo happened with a buffalo or hippo i needed her stuck to my back like a monkey LOL!

Gunner...I dont know why it is but Ive been " charged" by skunks a number of times. Only once did it end well for the skunk. I rattled off 5 quick shots from a British .303 at it and my pard emptied all 14 of his .45 acps out of a Para-ord P-14. By then the still healthy skunk had arrived and I was laughing too hard to even stand up straight. He wasn't rabid and I didn't get bit, but you can guess the rest of the story....

Not saying this was the case for the OP, just a general statement:
Saw a post from a state conservation department (that I can't find where I saw it) yesterday saying this time of year you will see coons out more during the day as they're gathering more food for themselves/newborn babies.

Had a skunk walking down the road in broad daylight, walking in clockwise circles as he proceeded. The game warden that had been called said it was probably mange as it affects the brain. I didn't know that as I thought mange was just a skin/fur problem.

You bet, i remember you and whelennut wearing out texncal's 100 yard ar-500 hard plate with it, funny when two guys shoot your rifle better than you do, i never even fired the 303 double rifle that far, longest was a pig at that hunt, iirc it was 88 yards.
