I am reminded of a former Tulsa cop who murdered his EX with a crossbow.

Then another one in Europe.

Why kill a skunk? I live in NY. We have LOTS of skunks. Never hunted one. Don’t know anyone that did.

Cars keep the skunk population down. Never known to be a nuisance.

I guess he just wanted to KILL something. In that case it was a success.

Sounds like you’ve never had them in your backyard living under your deck.

They stink and love to dig under fences. And then there’s rabies....

I used a live trap and released the first couple i caught. Now i cover the trap with a big plastic bin and gas (gopher gassers) the damn things. The last one i caught was tough. Gassed it three times and was sure it was dead. Somehow it survived and dug it’s way under the bin and escaped. I think it either crawled off somewhere and died or was so traumatized it never came back.

City Animal Control Department was useless. They sent a teenage girl with no PPE to get it and she ended up getting sprayed in the eyes. If i lived in the country i would shoot the skunks.
