I have decided that I wasted too many skunks this year. I am going to build a dispatch pole. I have to admit I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes to getting 5 feet within spraying distance. I've gotta have at least 10 feet. My ? is , is there any way of just freezing the glands and selling them without extracting? I have to admit I'm a bit chicken when it comes to puncturing that thing. Thanks, Bill
Never happier than when I smell just a little skunky.

I dont know possum skinner I think I take the first prize for stinkiest man alive 365 plus.I get to stand alone in line at McDonalds most of the time.:)I guess that isnt very amusing to some. OK Bob the honor is all yours Include me in the top 100 though ... lol Know what ya mean about standing in lines ... grown ups scrunch their faces and whisper ... while kids let loose with the truth ... gotta love that  Oh, even plastic caps will turn black ... doesnt have to come in contact with it the vapor will do it also  Coffee cans with sand around the bottles works good too

Seems to be some residue left in mine and the still smell skunky. I use a couple last season in some hay pile sets and got no takers.
