Is a roadkill stunk worth stopping for?
When a stunk dumps his load, is it always empty the bladder or sometimes just a little squirt?
Sometimes a roadkill doesn't stink when I drive past?

If its a sail skunk keep going if it looks like a 3D skunk give it a go the pods might hold some stink and there’s always the pods.

More than half the road kills I find are still good hides no damage. Usually just clipped in the head because they are so short. Some squirt some don't. I'd say more than 50% discharge but still have essence to salvage. I get a lot of road kills some years. If they look good I spin the vehicle around. I always carry garbage bags and nitrile gloves in the back.

There always seems to be something salvageable off a roadkill skunk. Even if they did squirt, you might be able to harvest the pods.


Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

One day the wife rolled into the place proud as a peacock with 5 roadkill skunks in all kinds of conditions.
