skunk ain't terrible after a few hours of smelling it , your olfactory system kinda gets used to it ....
of course others near you won't think that way , but to be sure it wears off eventually ....
used to roll in road kill skunks before bowhunts was me .....and got point blanked one very early morning in the dark by one I thunk was a coon in the garden ...
picking up a shovel and sneaking up on a skunk in the dark and whacking it is not one of the brighter things I done for sure ....
