The wife and I were camping on the upper Kern river and one night after we went to sleep she woke me an said she heard something outside. Well after I heard it I grabbed my .480 and slowly stepped outside the trailer. I was fast to retreat back inside, and she said, is it a bear, I said I wish it was, it's a skunk. Not good. Oh and Hatch, rocks are a real bad idea. Like u didn't know that.
Short story...So in about 1972, I drive up to the Lake Isabella area to do some quail hunting with my old hound Mike...At the time I had a tricked out hunting Ford van...Mike laid on the bed in the back...Long story short...Mike gets hit by a skunk...Put everything I could on that dog to dampen the smell...One things for sure...I didn't fall asleep at the wheel on my way home to LB...
my first black lab killed a possum, so I made the mistake burying it in the back yard, couple of days later he dug it up, when I discovered it (I have tough stomach ) It was full of maggots I nearly

So back when I was doing carpentry for a living I found myself and my buddies on this remote lake in Mendocino county building a cabin. It gets hot up there and we slept on the deck.... Mr Pepe La Pue shows up at 3 am trying to get into our cooler... the cooler was right by my head... I like that cooler a lot cuz it was full of Hamms Beer. I don't know if the skunked like beer or he was just going through all the coolers looking for food. Any way after the 3rd or 4th time of that thing slamming the lid on the cooler I woke up....there I was staring eye to eye with Pepe about 2 feet from me.... I was so tired and drunk, I just casually reached over and locked the cooler. He just looked at me and turned and walked away between my startled carpenter buddies....we all looked around like we were dreaming and went back to sleep... We howled about it over breakfast. That could have been real ugly
I had a pet skunk growing up in GA, it was chocolate brown and the gland removed. To this day the smell doesn't both me
My last encounter, we were pheasant hunting when one guy goes there's a rooster running down the ditch so I send Zoe and Zola into the brush and then the wind changed.......Rooster? Bullshit!
Dogs kill it, they get sprayed and we head back to the truck. On the way back the dogs roll in the IV dust and the eye watering odor dissipates....... until they get wet then it all comes back
When we run the dogs on pigs we hope the dogs hit a skunk before they run into the sounder.......it real hides the dog scent from the pigs.
