Jeramie Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 This morning we let our Male Schnauzer out to go to the bathroom before we left for work. About 5 minutes later I hear him barking, growling, and raising cane! My wife ran and let him in. He made it about 15 steps through the house before I smelled the skunk spray. It was BAD. Im guessing he was barking through the fence and the skunk hosed his face. He went right out the back door to the fenced porch. He will have to have a bath before he can come back in... Luckily im stuck at work until 4:30 - 5:00. My wife gets to handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Dogs love that perfume! I saw one time church let out early when dogs bayed a skunk under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 True story: When I was about 16 we were at Church (we have several generations of preachers in our family). There was about 18" of snow on the ground. It was a really bad winter. Something started banging on the doors to the church. It would hit them a few times and then nothing. Finally a decon looked out the glass to the doors but nothing was there. Church went on. Again, knocking on the door... Finally he opened the door to find a skunk with a glass peanut butter jar stuck on its head. It was beating it against the door trying to get it off. Ned Christy (Great old man, died several years ago) had my brother grab the jar. He pulled the skunk by the tail claiming it wouldnt spray. They pulled for a minute and the jar slipped off. They dropped the skunk and ran. The skunk just took of jumping and rolling in the snow having the time of its life. It knew it wasnt in danger so it just played for a few minutes and headed off. Really cool and true story..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I haven't had a close encounter with one enough to get sprayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Jeramie that's one of the funniest ones I've ever heard. fwiw.... I've been sprayed in the face by a skunk and can say that I do not ever want to have it happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 The dog is clean... My wife washed him with the skunk away stuff you get at the vet (by the way it works). She just put him out to dry.... Looks like the next few nights I get to go skunk hunting! Dust off the .22lr baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Looks like the next few nights I get to go skunk hunting! Dust off the .22lr baby! Sounds like a good excuse to buy a new 20ga. to me, especially since you already have the ammo. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 That stinks Jeramie! (literally:D) Glad you got him washed down and de-skunked. Now for the fun part, killing the skunk. Just make sure you hit him in the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have killed 4 skunks so far this summer and every one has sprayed no matter where the bullet hit. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you hit him in the head. I've heard if you hit a skunk in the guts with a rifle it won't spray. Never tried it before, just hearsay from a guy that I know. They say if you hit them in the head they still have the ability to spray even if you kill them instantly. I know it sounds counterintuitive, and like I said, I've never tried it, but maybe something to research... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Shaun, it don't matter. I have killed 4 skunks so far this summer and every one has sprayed no matter where the bullet hit. :oops: Ditto. I've only killed one skunk without it spraying.

Jeramie Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Ive killed a few without spraying but have killed many that have. I dont think there is any real good way to kill one... However, the only good skunk is a dead skunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I've heard if you hit a skunk in the guts with a rifle it won't spray. Never tried it before, just hearsay from a guy that I know. I shot one with a rifle once...there's no way he could have sprayed cuz...he exploded into a mist. :gun2: :disolve: Shooting one with a 165 gr. bullet from a 30-06 will do that. Probably the same results as if he had sprayed though but I wasn't close enough to tell ya for sure. He had been a real problem around our camp, spraying twice under it at night. I happened to catch him out behind it one day. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
