We have always shot them when they don't stay out of the general area, but don't waste arrows on the task unless that is the only quick option. Same for coons and possums. We don't go far and wide looking for them, and we don’t kill them when we run across them out hunting far from home, but I don't want them around the house and barns. I don't want them mixing with the dog or in the chicken coop when we have chickens. Anyone not understanding that has never had to get the smell off a dog, get them out of their barn, chicken coop or out form living under their porch or under an out building.
Those photos look like they are in someone’s yard and not out in the woods someplace so I suspect they are or will be a nuisance so good shooting!
Even out in the wild, too many skunks, coons, and possums are hard on the waterfowl, turkey and upland birds so fewer is better. There are far too many of them due to very minimal impact by predators in our area and almost no trapping or harvesting of them for food now days in these parts.
