Had a nice easy job for today take down two small half dead maples,chip brush leave wood and chip a couple piles of pine limbs the ho trimmed up. Took down the two trees, chipped up the big pile of pine. Iwent to grab the last pile off to the side, when i grabbed it out comes a pissed off skunk. Needless to say i took off as fast as i could. Little bastard chased me half way to the chipper. He took off the other way but all you could smell was skunk. When i went to the door to get paid the ho came out with tears in his eyes from laughing so hard. He says boy dont think ive ever seen a grown man move that fast. I didnt get sprayed and the guy gave me a tip for the entertainment.

Well your lucky ...... I opened up the front door 2 weeks ago to let out both dogs at 1am in my pajamas a to boot ...... And staring me right in the face is a skunks ass locked and loaded , sprayed the 3 of us , even got me in the beard , got the inside of my front door and the dogs to my dismay turned around abruptly and jumped right on my couch dragging there faces from one end of the sitting room to the other....... I was awake til 4am bathing bleaching and trying in vein to get rid of the odor .... Managed to get the house straightened out and now I can't smell skunk when I shower as bad . The dogs have been bathed almost 10 xs a piece since LOL .... So I have now set up a wildlife camera so I can see where he's coming in .... And set a trap .
 
Tomato paste will get rid of the smell.

A quart of peroxide and 2 tsp. of baking soda , and a cap full of dove to break up the oil .... Worked well and then I treated them again and also cleaned em both with skunk off ....... And I won't lie I scrubbed my beard with it 2xs , I smell better but I have a small bark now from time to time !
 
Yea ..... It's funny , but me and that skunk have unfinished business , I am a live and let guy , but that skunk made it serious !

Might want to call in the Dan, he's locked and loaded too. Sleep with 1 eye open though......
 
Wait until it rains........

Those dogs will start smelling like they just got sprayed.

I had a doberman for close to ten years. She hated cats and would put the bite on those "black and white ##### cats" at least a couple of times a year.

Every time I smell skunk I think of her.

Same skunk got them in August , I let that one roll off my back , now like I said its real ! So I have 2 traps full of fruit near the woods and I am hoping to have success this week , I am gonna tie the trap to the dump truck and head to work . Just like the scene from griswald family vacation we'll see how long dinky the skunk can jog !
 
Even though we've had skunks in our yard, thankfully none of our dogs over the years have ever got sprayed (there's the kiss of death for you). However, I've had a dog come home with a muzzle loaded with porcupine quills.

Being poor at the time with no money for a vet, my wife and I stuffed him in a burlap sack with his head out, sat on him and then pulled them out with pliers. What a battle.
 
Sardines work best. 1st lay down an old tarp and then set cage on tarp and place sardines in cage.
With skunk in cage throw and roll tarp up and then throw it in truck.
Tarp is there for the release to protect you incase he decides he wants to spray.

I had to live/capture and release for years at the camp I lived and worked on.
Just need to open the can partially. Never got sprayed roling em up and releasing them and I must have caught dozens.
Take them across a major Hwy or river so they don't come back to easily.
This technique worked well for me, best of luck.

Thats pretty funny but obviously the HO didn't me when i cut into a bee hive about 60ft up in a hollowed out tree it was like a free fall on rope when i hit the ground and cut my rope with my Silky to get away my hitch was smoking. (No joke) i heard the BUUUUZZZZZZ!!!! With ear plugs in but i never did get stung thank god:laugh:
