Skunk Hunting?

[Insanity]

I'm designating it open season on them here. One of us has got to go.

Done sprayed my dog twice. And I smell him about twice a week. He runs like heck when he sees/ hears us. And he doesn't come by every night or I'd wait on him.

Hence the problem he only comes by at night and he always hears me coming out the door before I see him. So he's gone. And even if I catch him still I can't see threw my rifle scope at night.

Wonder if I 12 gauge his butt with a heavy load of number 4 shot if he'd spray. Couldn't hit his head, as his butts in the way when I see him. Lol if he would slow down id slug him inside out.

Thought I'd found his hole. Was going to set a snare wire for him. But it turned out to be a ground hog. He must be coming from a long way away.

Got a capture cage but I got so many coons and opossums they would keep me busy turning them out and I'd rather not catch this big moma coon she looks like she could be mean if caged. Lol

At this point I really don't care if he does spray. It will wear off the yard quicker then the dog. Or us one day. But the old lady is fussing about the possibility. Lol.

Need some skunk on a stick! For bait.

.22 to the head get a spot light and scan for him every now and then. Heck blast him from the bed room window so he don't see or hear you.

Yep, .22 to the noggin will put him down before he has a chance to do anything. If he has any kind of regular schedule just sit out with a spotlight and wait him out.

That's the problem I can't see threw my scope on my 22 in the dark. The Sites are covered by it.

But I did tape my 130 lumen (spot beam) flash light under the barrel of the 12 gauge. As I couldn't shine and shoot. I can see down the barrel perfect! Heck at 10 yards it's gonna be right where the beam is and same diameter. I could shoot front the hip and hit him good. Just hoping enough pellets find his head.

He came threw a few mins ago. But he made it to the woods before I could get the gun. Little bugger.

Skunk two - me zip!

Mount the light on the top of ur .22 scope. It's how I hunt fox and coyotes just mounted to a .243 or .17
