So fun story, I shot rather large skunk at 430 am Tuesday morning with my air rifle. Shot was about 30 yards and was in the head. It went down and flopped a bit, then started to stagger (not the usual skunk waddle) and went behind the debris pile. It traveled about 5 ft and I was able to get 2 more shots off into the chest. Assuming he was done in I went to work. Came home at 930 am to get ready for a 2 day business trip, checked out where I shot him, there was some blood and a smudge where it went under the pile. I assumed he was done and went on my trip. Got home last night around midnight, got up a 430 to go to work and let the dog out and he came back doing the tell tale lip licking. Another damn skunk sprayed him! So I put some more food out at my bait pile and will be waiting this am!
Any recommendations to keep the bugger from spraying when I shoot again? Got lucky the first time, but my house is finally smelling better and the dog is too!
Also, I have a .22 and scoped .17hmr, but prefer the air 1000fps air rifle if possible because its 4:00 am and in a residential area in town.
