I have a couple of skunks digging for grubs in my lawn
 Rich, I'll pay your airfare if you'll come down and trap them for me..... otherwise I'll just let them keep right on doin' what skunks do.

Dean,
I was told that if you sneak up behind them and lift them up by the tail they are unable to spray. Good luck and let me know how you make out.

I had the same problem last year. I opened the back slider in the middle of the night. Seen the skunk, and nailed it with a pellet gun. Bad choice. He sprayed his juice right by the open bedroom window. Wife was pissed for 3 days at me over that stunt.

Skunks huh? How about this...last summer I opened my shed to get the mower out...Damn thing wouldn,t move...gave a good hard yank ...out it came...one problem though there was a skunk sleeping under it! This happened twice and he never sprayed....
 I dumped a box of moth balls in there and Mr. Skunk was never seen again.... Why are we talkin about skunk's anyway.....

Larry, I have a hilarious story to tell you about a long time ago when I was teaching a young guy to trap. There is a skunk involved and another old wives tale about preventing them from spraying....
I'll tell you at the meeting. |

We're packing up for a four day campout in the bush of Oscoda County starting Saturday. Woodcock are in then and the reports are that there should be a fair number af them woods chickens to give us fits. I have the first aid kit with forecepts and needle nose pliers in case Pete gets stupid with a porkey. We'll have about eight of us with ten or so dogs (tag teams). The larder is being assembled with sufficient BS medicine for the campfire. The short barrelled VH is ready if I am and Pete's fired up.
John D., Tom Wooden has kindly informed me that I am good to go through 10/1/11; I'll pay more attention to due dates from now on. Fred |

Gun deals galore- Sounds good
But I like our brother in AK with the #12 trap and a S&W K-22 masterpiece in hand. One sweet .22 wheelgun indeed. One I don't have (yet) but I'm not cryin' in my mug o'Guinness- My Dad loved his Colts, praises be- and left them all to me- my favorite .22 handgun is the Colt Match Target Woodsman with the so-called "elephant eared" handgrips he bought new in about 1939- in the box with papers, extra magazine and cleaning swab- still a 10X ring special= never have shot a skunk or a porky (yet) with it though.
A farmer trapper friend once told me the trick on "de-fusing" a skunk- you have to tuck his tail up under his belly, thus covering up the "dual exhaust pipes" he uses to perfume the atmosphere. As skunks, like raccoons, possums, fox and coyote, are highly rabid, and have teeth and claws, I don't believe I'd try that stunt- a .22 HP or a load of No. 6's to the head is my plan A- and B-- Good luck and good shooting to all PGCA lads attending the Vintagers and also the Fall Southern shootfests, no matter whose 20 is being "test fired" |

Anyway, I won't be "stingy" with that little CHE - and in fact, will make it the PGCA "rack gun" for the duration of the week in MD??. In other words, anyone who wants to try a round with it just needs to sign it out for a bit..??
