When was coonhunting our dogs would get hit by a skunk from time to time , We always just gave them a bath in tomato juice to get rid of the smell !

Snake i was thinking skunk would be a good fur for tying jigs but how do you get rid of the smell + how do ya keep from getting smelly yourself
i see coons hear all the time soon as i find a fresh one its on my list to lol. if i could find the birds like you do id be in hog heaven lol. see skunks all the time to but that smell has kept me away.

The stink is in the glands, not the fur. Now if it sprayed as it got hit, well, I'd keep on driving.

Our old mutt Max got hosed one night in the backyard years ago. I bought quarts and quarts of tomato juice to bathe the dog, and Pop and I afterward 'cause we smelled like the darn thing after the dog's bath.
Kinda worked on us but didn't do much on the dog. Tried the skunk soap. Didn't do much either, he was still sleeping in the garage and had by this time been nicknamed "Pepé Le Pew". We were heading out of town and left the dog at a friends house for the week as planned prior to this fiasco.

Well short of the story is this. They finally got the smell out of him... and their secret? Powdered Douche. No lie. They bought a few packets and mixed up a bath with that stuff in it and repeated a couple times.


I honestly don't know how anyone could stop and grab a skunk on the road. Every time I encounter one I can't wait to get the heck away from it. I can't imagine purposely getting closer to that stink so I can pick it up and put it IN my car!

we have a lot of skunk here. This is the ideal country for them yours. You see about for five or six dead on the highway when it warms up a bit. They will be out they like to come into the barn where we feed fish heads to the cat's to take the fish heads or carcasses away they usually do not bother you. Matter fact we've cleaned a lot of fish with them standing right beside you. They will not bother you unless they get frightened, but they are beautiful little animals, especially the babies they follow the mother around in our yard. We have a lot of raccoons that come also. I think the raccoons in the skunks get into it now and then is they are fighting over fish. Oh occasional coyote may try to sneak in, but they usually are not after the fish. They're usually after the house cats.

now that really looks delicious. It's been a long time since I've had him roasted possum little bit of cornbread with that board at a be great. Nothing like good old victuals. We usually do not ever hear about this anymore you know, been a good old Hill boy. Yes, I do not have possums where I live now they are down in the Valley we called the Valley West coast of Oregon , where all the city folks live.

Just a warning, here in Indiana if a warden catches you picking up something out of season--your going to get a ticket. Also if its in season you better have the right license. I know a guy who was camping out; on his way home he stopped to pick up a muskrat. This was in the late fall and he had a hunting lience. A warden happened to see him and pulled him over. No problem right/ He should the warden his hunting license, "That's nice the warden said, but I need to see a trapping license." You guess it. The guy got a sitation and the warden took the muskrat!!
