That shot was taken with zoom all the waaaaayyy in!

My wife was kneeling down in front of me only about 4ft from him with the flashlight. Crazy woman. LOL!

My parents have had their house sprayed on atleast 2 different ocassions when taking the dog out the front door. This has happened at 2 different houses. The skunk would camp out under the front patio slab. The smell in the house, as you mentioned in your other post, is NOTHING like the smell of a dead skunk on the side of the road. It's horrible.

you and your wife must be crazy people.

anyone who would even consider taking a picture of a skunk is just that..........crazy.

That is a cute little critter

Crossing the highway late one night

shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right

Didn't see the station wagon car

skunk got squashed and there you are.

You got your dead skunk...in the middle of the road

Dead skunk in the middle of the road......

and he's stinkin' to high heaven.

had a classmate in high school who'd catch these things with his bare hands, by the tail w/o getting hit. the dude was very, very fast - quite impressive to watch - from a good distance.

Oops, double post. I was having trouble with my wireless card/connection and didn't realize this went through the first time.

Anyway, Eric was asking in the other post about getting the smell off the dog.

Used peroxide, a whole bottle mixed with baking soda, to oxydize the smell, with some dish soap and dog shampoo, too.

Tomato juice doesn't work. Just masks the odor some.

Also had to spray bleach to get the smell of the side of my shed where it hit I guess the skunk sprayed and missed the dog.

Is that there a Conroe skunk???

Sure is, Doug.

The 9th hole skunk, to be precise.

I saw him a couple nights ago by the 9th tee box which is on the other side of the woods from my backyard, when i was driving home.

#9 I have to call B.S. These bastards bite. You ever hear or rabies? Shooting them isn't really a fantastic solution either though. I have shot 2 already this summer underneath the deck and man even if you kill you them on the first shot they release and stink up the place for days.

A decent solution to clean that dog is hydrogen peroxide and baking soda.

Do you need my services to get rid of that?

No, I'm sure sometime in the next couple weeks, someone will probably run over him in the street by my house and we'll have to smell him for a week. At least that's what happened to the last two skunks I've seen in the same area over the past 10 yrs.

Have plenty of tomato juice handy in case it sprays you or your dog. Get an exterminator to trap it. Theses little bastards carry rabies. Good luck.

La peeeewwwwwww!

It probably won't spray your dog again. Skunks are actually pretty tame and only spray if they get REALLY scared. One sprayed my sister's dog, but only when the dog tried to play with it. When the dog was just sniffing the skunk, the skunk just sniffed back. Then the dog decided that she liked the skunk and wanted to play. The skunk didn't want to play.

The crack from a .22 isn't that loud. Send that varmint to skunk heaven. One hosing down of anything from a skunk is one too many.

Heading out to work today, I noticed the pancaked remnants of a skunk in the road out near the neighborhood entrance. It wasn't stinking, probably because he shot his load at my dog, so to speak. It looked to be about the same size as this one but it was a good half mile from my house. I didn't think they roamed that far. Maybe he was expanding his territory.

Sometimes, the explorers don't make it.

LOL, Big Game Hunter Cooper to the rescue....
