I’m always seeing people holding dead skunks, skinning skunks.. standing behind then while trapped.. it blows my mind.. I’m in middle Tennessee.. caught my first skunk in the early 80’s.. probably a trailer truck load since then.. our skunks stink to high heaven.. theres no way anyone could skin one.. just going down the road and come up on a road kill and you can’t breathe for 10 minutes.. I’ve pulled up to a farm before, stepped out of my truck.. and could smell a skunk in the trap half a mile away… one day I put a 220 in a groundhog den.. stood up and a skunk ran out.. slam… dead skunk.. then here comes the spray… take off running.. come back 2 weeks later to remove the bones.. and it’s still stinking… lol

dont bother me

Called the wrong play a couple years ago while skinning a skunk. Got it in the face from about 10 inches away. Literally had essence tripping off me. Had more effect on wife than me. Finished skinning it before i went and got cleaned up.

The smell never bothered me at all. If they stink give them a bath in Dawn dish soap, peroxide and baking soda. The smell is gone. I have put up lots of them.

…. I’m with Krig…. Get down wind… shoot them and leave there till I pull lol

… pan tension keeps most of them out though

… and I don’t care if a jew gets a new hat lol

I knew u being a sissy was going to cost u some day

… I got a full time job and get paid to trap…. I’m doing alright and smell better for it lol

Lol

220s too big for skunk, need to use smaller traps. gotta hit em right behind the ears.

I was after groundpigs

I enjoy the smell, I've been told I smile when we drive past a roadkill.

Keep a small tub of Vicks vapor rub in the vehicle, rub a little under your nose next time you catch one
It will help for those that need it
