I do have the "compact car" version of my shottie, but figured the longer barrel with the choke woulda kept the pattern tighter ;)


CLICK FOR HIGH RES!

Yummm, 3.5" magnum turkey loads outa my 12.5" barrel. Gotta love the fireballs!

:needPics: Proper way to do it is to wear thigh-high leather boots, and rubber gloves.(that's ALL)
:adult: 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.:popCorn:

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!

Re: Skunks...Live Trap them and drive them to the local Liberal/NDP office for release. :D

I was thinking the local mail drop box, but that's probably encouraging illegal activity...

I'd think that your 375 Ruger, with proper boolits, would have enough punch for rodents as well as big omnivores.

What is "punch" anyways? :confused:

I've killed one with a filleting knife. Dropped a 5 gallon pail over him and raised one edge. When he started to come out I slipped the knife behind his front leg and then covered him with the bucket again. He and the bucket went to the dump together.:puke:
 
I'd bet the farm it is a racoon and not the skunk. It was a racoon that did in about 50 chicken on our farm. It was a sow with pups. 2-3 birds a night,
 
Saw a skunk yesterday. He got in high grass before I could get to him. He entered the edge of a swamp. I followed him and when when I saw him, I put my red dot on and squeezed one shot. He moved about theree feet and sprayed the whole area. I was considering to keep the fur, right before he did that, but now it was unusable. Thinking that he may still be alive, I changed the mag and let all 25 rounds fly.

I'm still thinking about that fur. Does any of you have any experiences with skinning skunk? How do you do it, what are the spots to watch for?
 
I got my new skunk killing setup. Savage 93R17BTVS with Tasco illuminated mill dot 3-9x. Testing her out tonight. I got my new high def JVC HD7 camcorder with me, with nightvision and a large I.R. illuminator, so the video should be good!

Well, skunk showed up at about 11pm, but damn if I could hit him! I zero'd my rifle at 50m at EESA yesturday, put 10 shots through a hole the size of a dime. But for some reason tonight, my scope was way off! It looks like the bullet goes about 5" too high, and 3" to the right!? The skunk in the video is about 30m away. I'll have to check my scope mounts and such and make sure everything is OK. It mighta got knocked around when I was taking home the firework racks last night.

VIDEO!

LICK FOR HIGH DEF VIDEO! 11MB .WMV

Suprisingly there was enuff light to keep my camera on full colour high def, I just set it for a super slow shutter speed and it came out not bad.

I guess I scared the crap outa him, he might not show up for a few days. It'll give me time to figure out wtf happened to the zero on my scope.

(P.S. I LOVE the trigger on this new Savage! Must be about 1.5lbs, so crisp too :D)
