I shoot every skunk I see on the spot. We have a year-around season on the stripped skunk. Like Flintrock, I guess if I were coyote calling a promising area I might let one pass. Otherwise a skunk sees no mercy from me. Not only do they stink up the place, they are also scavengers and no doubt will raid turkey nests and other ground nesting birds, not to mention the rabies possibility.
Talk about skunks, just last night my dog went round and round with one. Needless to say the dog doesn't have the best BO at the moment. To make matters worse, my wife got down wind of it as she was seeing what the dog was after and the scent got on her clothes. She wasn't even near it but still got the stink on her.
They must be on the move more now since I have recently seen two dead ones on the highway a short distance from my house, and then that one last night.
