I guess when you live in the country one should accept the critters that live close by I can tolerate everything but the skunks in the last two weeks I have killed SIX I shoot them with a 12ga.and hit them in the front shoulder with hi-power number fours this takes off the frontal part and the head so far none has sprayed and I have only had the law called once for shooting at five thirty on sunday morning.i have a stump row about a hundred yards from the house down in the woods I assume this is where they are denning.

I usually let all skunks slide by me, they kill out all the Yellow Jackets around here so they're okay with me.

if you shoot them in the rump with a 12 guage (#4's are fine) they don't spray. One hit does the job immediately too.

Never had a problem with stink when shooting them in the back side. If you shoot them in the head, it is a 50% chance of release.
