The best selfbow shot ever ! (in my view)
« on: October 31, 2011, 06:19:00 AM »
The other day I was drawing back on a big Ohio doe at ten yards. But out of the corner of my right eye I spotted a flash of "WHITE" I turned my head slightly and saw a big male skunk with its butt up and "aiming"... my in"stink" jumped in and in one smooth motion .... swung and put a woody dead center into his "WEAPON" !!! It was the Doe, Me or the SHUNK that was going to get shot. The Doe and Me won. The doe just walk off slowly. I think he knew that SHUNK saved his life. What a interesting hunt!  Sorry shunk I had to take you out!

Having been sprayed before, you made a good choice.

That is a very unusual skunk coloration! Kinda a "backerts" skunk, (no pun intended) to be white with a black stripe!

I'm waiting for the answer to the above question about skinning it?

If so, don't make a quiver. Guy bought one yrs ago at Denton and it rained on us... that quiver , once wet,lit up like it was a live skunk!  :biglaugh:

Good shot!!!

Probably poked a hole in his scent gland but I'm not sure about that, Skunk anatomy is not my specialty ....

Keep that arrow in the quiver for a cover up scent...
I don't know if it worked but they used to sell that stink to hunters    :laughing:

Looks like center shot blow-hole. Believe I'd have taken the doe...cause I'd be way too nervous to shoot the skunk. Good shooting nonetheless. The experience alone is worth the shot.

I got slightly hit by a skunk when driving down a field path, it sprayed my van as I drove past it and my windows were open. I had a metallic taste in my mouth every time I got near or in my van, so I shot it to put it out of my misery.  It is illegal to shoot skunks in Iowa, so it is doing fine and I drive a little Subaru now and keep the windows up.

Way to plug the hole.
Looks like the lil' stinker died from too much fiber.

Sorta stinks that the doe got away.

I know you're supposed to pick a "spot"..but jeez..lol

I do remember that two part stuff... Fraternity pranks really took a dive when that stuff was available...had to mix to get the smell... guys would spray one part on the manifold, then wire a cheap plastic bottle of the 2nd ingredient on the same spot of the manifold and when the engine heated up, it melted the plastic bottle and it combined on the engine block...

I never, ever, ever parked my car anywhere NEAR those pranksters! That was in the day when hoods didn't lock from the cockpit!   :eek:    :scared:  

When trapping in MT, we got big syringes from the Vet with rubber stopper bottles and if we caught a skunk... used to give em a shot of the stuff Vets use to knock out critters and for some reason, skunks are prone to die quickly from that anethesia stuff... then we'd fool with the other needle to draw the amber liquid out, shoot it in a rubber stopper bottle.

Danged stuff was pure gold.  Lure makers paid dearly for it.

Never had a mishap, but a buddy did... Lord amighty that is potent stuff!
