Better than my pull today, and one less egg eater! :tu:
Exactly! This is on the goat, sheep, chicken, duck, goose, etc. farm. The farmer asked what could be skillfully opening the chicken eggs without breaking them and eating the insides. I got to show him the critter likely responsible.CATCHDAWG":1v45sitm said:
Well, we had three grinners and a skunk today. Somehow I think it's your fault Songdog... :lol:
Ha! Good check, especially the skunk! Whew!! Guess I pushed them your way. Maybe critters are moving a lot before the front and storms move in.
Not meaning to hijack but....the whole skunk thing is something I've been dreading so please share. If you catch a one do you just dispatch from a ways back(like 10-15 yards) and try to make a vitals shot? I read something that said your odds of not winding up wearing everyone's least favorite cologne are increased by heart/lung shots as opposed to head. Anyone have an opinion as to the validity of that?
Vitals, yes, and can let it air out for extended period before handling it.

On the skunks, very slowly get close enough to shoot broadside behind the shoulder, a little low, with a .22 CB. Then slowly back away. They will be dead in about a minute. I did this twice and neither sprayed. I also tried to head shoot a few with a regular .22 LR, and they always sprayed.
one less nest raider! good catch!!
Thanks fellas that makes me feel a little better!
