Best way to deal with skunks in DP's???

[tellico4x4]

There is no perfect way. I read about the needle technique but I think they used acetone in the version I read..
Regardless I'm not getting that close.

The best way I have found is to shoot them just behind the front shoulder. Heart/lung. Im batting around 75% of the time they don't spray. If you head shoot them you got about a 90%+ chance they spray. At least that is my experience.

Thanks for the advise! 5 thru the lungs so far this week & nary a spray. I will admit that I was so worried on the first one that it wouldn't work, that I missed it 3 times before hitting

Personally for me I run a lot of traps so when I catch a skunk I shoot it and leave it in the trap for 2 or 3 days then get it. I haven't seen anything that works. No matter where you shoot them they release. Never heard of the needle.
