Cute little booger. We don’t have those here and THANK GOD I encounter very few skunks. Even walking around the trap ruins boots and gloves if you touch the dang thing.

love honor OBEY.....

Tell that woman its her job to skin polecats. Won't be long she will be as immune to that wonderful keeps nontrapping riff raff away odor as you are. If she balks tell her your skinning them on the dining room table so you can take your time and do it right.

Carl you need to carry a jab pole and get some practice in using it; I agree never ever shoot a civet or striped skunk. You damage the pelt and loose essence in that process.

When I was more of an avid pheasant hunter I used to encounter them more frequently. We found that a bottle of Head and Sholders shampoo worked very well on our dogs that got sprayed.

The hide, the essence, the pods, the fat...all good stuff

You will save money on Valentines gifts !

Yup!

I actually was just in the process of stepping on the tail so that I could heart pinch him but he whipped up that tail at the last second and beat me to the punch. Probably the jab would be easier for both of us.

Were those frozen whole Bruce? Way to go man!

Nah, civets are native here.

Nope, most all mine get sold salted.

After my dog got sprayed by a skunk and I tried everything to get the smell off I tried Nature's Miracle skunk remover and hands down the best thing to use just spray and wipe off.

I have never figured out how you can make a jab pole work on civets. It seems like their rear end is always pointed at you.
They have an uncanny ability to survive the strongest conibear sometimes. I find a chest catch and a run pole up in the air are the surest methods to insure they are past the great divide when you show up.

A forked stick to hold the tail down , the jab and things are all better on the home front. Brought my wife along to take the picture.



And another 120 that the freezing weather put out of commission yesterday connected last night as well. Craziest looking civet I've ever seen!

X2! I keep a spray bottle in my truck just incase.
