Hey guys, my dog has gotten sprayed in the face by a skunk here at home twice in the last week and I've had enough of that so I set out some live traps. I am live trapping because my neighbor has a couple cats and a small dog that snoops around which I don't want to kill. I've killed a couple skunks with a pistol and one with a shotgun that I ran into while bird hunting and in each case they rolled around on the ground making a stink after being shot.
So my question is, if I catch this skunk is there a better way to kill it without stinking up the whole yard? I thought maybe shooting it in the head with a 223 might turn out the lights fast enough that it won't spray all over. What do you say?
