Where ever possible, I kill skunks on sight.
I used to have a Siberian Wolf/German Shepherd cross that, along with his hunting pack, took care of all of the skunks that entered his territory.
The pack consisted of him, a seal-point Siamese that acted as bait and a three-legged peke-a-pom that had no apparent sense of smell.
The Siamese would stroll along making "I'm lost and alone" noises until the skunk would close to attack, the peke-a-pom would distract the skunk (and often get sprayed) and the wolf dog would pounce, kill and eat.
Saved me a number of bullets and bags of dog food.

you can eat skunk
 
Wheew...I was there when my moms black lab got blasted by a skunk. As soon as it happened I left. Did not want any part of it.
Thought I was OK not being sprayed myself and getting out of there right away.
Customers I was working for that day asked me to leave the job LOL.
 
I'll tell ya why it wasn't scared of the gunfire is because the skunk, like most other clumsy slow brightly colored things in creation, is aware of the power of his secret weapon. No one ever bothers him, more than once, and so he is accustomed to roaming about with reckless abandon. I nearly hit one with my truck one night. Stood up on the brakes and came to a screeching hault within 6 ft of the animal. It stared into my headlights for a moment then continued it's clumsy no hurry gate across the road fully aware he is untouchable

Hydrogen peroxide, water, baking soda and Dawn dish liquid will completely rid your dog of stink. Tomato juice is not nearly as effective.

^^^This. My recipe is the industry standard and it works well. Thank God Pointers ain't nearly as vulnerable as flushers or hounds!


  1. ¼ cup of baking soda.
  2. 1-2 teaspoons of mild dishwashing detergent like Dawn.

  4. Mix in a bucket and use immediately.
  5. Work the foaming mixture well into the coat.

Just about everything tastes goo with the right seasonings. One word of caution with skunks. You have to be extra careful when cleaning them so that you don't bust open their scent glands. That will definitely ruin the meat. I suggest cooking them like possum and raccoon on a grill. All three are pretty tasty when shredded and allowed to soak in BBQ sauce or any of your favorite sauces.

I think a soaking after carful cleaning in Alcohol 50% proof, blender 1 onion, 1/2 a cup of apple cider vinegar. 10-20 day soak, that should do it

No, none around our area. Copperheads and water moccasins are all you come across that are “bad ones”.

Don’t like snakes! that would definitely stop my range session for a few minutes until I shoot them dead

Now big rattlers are good eating too.

@jmorris I don't blame you for stopping to let them pole cats pass through. There's not much worse that getting sprayed by one.

Of course they are! My grandfather used to collect rattlers alive in pillow cases. Would pick them up bare handed and never got bit once. Insisted they won't bite if your not afraid. Hed sell them for meat.
 
I forgot to add one thing earlier.

I always like to soak small game animals and fish in salt water for about 3 days, changing the water everyday. It helps take any of the gamey taste out.
