Skunk attack

[RifleBowPistol]

Where we used to live, every spring, during skunk mating season. Those **** things would get out in the back yard, which would be up wind of the house and spray up a storm. The smell gets into all of the fabric in the house, you can't get rid of the smell for over a month. Once is bad, but sure enough when the smell in the house is starting to fade, another would come along and fog the back yard up, once they have sprayed a nice thick cloud in the air, it's too late.

One year I decided I had had enough of the possums, skunks. I started shooting a trapping as many as I could. The first nine months, I trapped and killed around 75 possums. Then around 50 skunks. I found the skunk population took many years to rebound, the possums only took a couple of years to rebound. The coon population exploded, then they turned into a royal pain. I lost track of how many coons I killed. There was never a shortage of those things. I did not trap or see a possum for 2 years and probably five years on the skunks. So I stop thinking about them, just kept up on the coon killing. Eventually the skunks came back and went back to fogging the back yard and making the house rank for months. My wife was ******. So back to trapping and killing skunks.

Yea, when you shoot one, they spray a stream of their musk, like a fountain. It is so strong, that stuff could be used as a replacement for pepper spray.

Mix dawn dish soap, baking soda, and peroxide. Works like a champ on the pole cat stink.

I keep a spray bottle handy under the utility room sink for the dogs. They find em regularly. Recently...after notfication by a midnight bark spree...I smelled it and went recurve in hand for a trophy...to no avail.

I had a pole cat get into the chicken run a few years back...it decapitated 6 several month old chicks...I found it dead from being hen pecked.

The stench...it burns...yet strangely clears the sinuses.

Walmart sells a skunk soap.

I had a pointer female that hated small animals. If she saw a skunk you couldn't keep her off it with a shock collar. She would vomit, try to clear her nose out, and couldn't smell a quail for at least an hour. After an hour or so, like it never happened, except she stunk. She found more quail than the rest of our dogs put together. She would kill opossums or squirrels that would get into her run. Thank goodness we had a dog box in the back of the truck. One of the reasons I never owned a suburban, seems like sooner or later you have to haul something you wouldn't want in the cab with you.
