That should just about do the job Mike! 
Many years ago I was hunting with my brother and we seen a skunk running up the opposite bank of the dragline ditch near our farm. It was about 100 feet away and my brother shot it with the 12 gauge with #4 shot. It rolled down the bank a few feet and then started running up the bank again. I said shoot it again. So he did and the same thing happened. But then I shot it with my .270, and that was it.
Proper way to do it is to wear thigh-high leather boots, and rubber gloves.(that's ALL) 
You also need a buddy with a bright light to "visually stun" the critter. (since there's gonna be lots of light, make sure he is also running a video camera.Boots prevent bites when you stomp down on laughing skunk's tail. Now stick finger up its hindermost parts. Back pressure will cause skunk's head to explode seven times out of nine.
Please post videos on the OT section of this board. Thanx, OB.
In case of confusion, please review my avatar; if you try the prostrate exam method on a badger, your buddy will be selling the sequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but you won't be around to share!

This method would have some side benefits. The concussion from that going off outside the chicken coop would make the eggs sell for a much higher price - who else has chickens that lay scrambled eggs still in the shell?

(from memory) picture 750 or so ball bearings about the size of #4 buckshot sitting on a convex slab of about 2.5 lbs or so of C4, from speaking with people who have played with these things on their job, makes one hellova racket, anything in front out to about 15-25 meters looks like swiss cheese, and whatever is standing directly behind it doesn't fare much better.

Just go over there in your slippers. That will be enough to send them running for the hills
.Pants are optional........
I think you really like those slippers. I also think there's more to you than you are letting on.crazy_davey said:Just go over there in your slippers. That will be enough to send them running for the hills

I've found that a 205/55R15 running on the front passenger side of a Honda at 65mph generally kills a skunk in one shot.
Additional benefits - Hondas have the built-in floodlights for nighttime hunting, and most are several inches shorter than sxyglock's shotgun setup.
