Sorry to hear that.

I live in the woods, not just the suburbs, LOL. Sitting here a few minutes ago, all Hell broke loose outside, followed by a plume of skunk fumes flowing from the AC unit. It is very quiet out there now, I assume the skunk won the fight. I might have to go next door and crash on my daughters couch, LOL.
ugh I hate skunks. We had one around here last night and I had to close the windows. I shot one in the yard a few years ago, but we’re not allowed to do that anymore.

Works exceptionally well.
I've also made that mistake. I was only using a 20 gauge at 30 yards so it didn't die right away. lol
I just popped it with a .17, and that was it.
I guess my skunk's a nightshift commuter, I just try to remember not to open my sidedoor around that time.
It’s clearing out pretty fast. Actually, I prefer skunk to stale urine in a phone booth, LOL. I don’t know what the skunk tangled with, out here it could be anything. Probably a coon or a feral cat. Whatever it was it regrets the moment, I’m sure.
I was camping many years ago and while we sat around the fire at night a skunk walked into my tent. I had to stay up all night waiting for it to leave. I’ve never been camping since!
Sorry to hear that.
When I hunted a lot I put skunk musk on my boots, I got used to it but got strange looks from the tourists. Skunk smells better than fox pee, anyway.
I didn't do it.
Use your instinked, sniper
I’ve always found skunk odor, when not too strong, to be not entirely unpleasant.
Of course, a direct hit or near miss is so overpowering that it’s more like a punch in the face than an odor.
Well, I’ve always smelt so bad a skunk never bothered me in the least. I could use Essence of Skunk Oil for an after shave and few would notice a difference. Still, the olfactories will do what they do, and if it requires a good night’s stay somewhere else, so be it!
For the time being I will stay inside and leave the damn thing alone. It is already upset enough, LOL. My old tomcat still has the hair on his back standing up, no way will I let him go out.
As the car approaches, the skunk turns its back, raises its tail and does a little dance.
When faced with this signal, every animal in North America immediately decides it has urgent business elsewhere, but for some reason it doesn’t work on cars. :)
Maybe you should try soap and water.
When we were building our house out here in the boonies we lived in a trailer. Our dog was skunked in the middle of the night, and decided the best place to be was under the trailer!!! I woke up and just *knew* the place was on fire. It took me a while to figure out what happened.
