Getting skunked can sure stretch out into many days. Several years back on an after a Christmas hunt Finn took a direct hit. There was about 5”-6” of snow and he was quartering just ahead he had hit 2nd gear and was steps into 3rd so I knew he was on something, but this time it wasn’t the pheasants we were seeking. I am sure the skunks aim was true and Finn took it in the mouth and the eyes. I had him hupped and on him in seconds. My first reaction was to pick up handfuls of snow and try and get whatever I could off him. I don’t know if that helped any or not. I do know it made him sick and he hacked up several times and had bowel movements within minutes. The hour ride home with the windows down wasn’t fun either, but gave time for me to phone my wife and send her out for supplies before we got back. We tried all we knew Dawn, hydrogen peroxide, tomato juice multiple applications. He still stunk a week later.
