Suddenly skunks

[JimD]

The guy with the leshy youtube channel recommends heart shots to avoid spray. I have never noticed him using a 177. I've seen videos of him with 22s, 25s, and 9mm calibers.

The problem with a lung shot is my shed and my deck..........getting under the shed to retrieve it isn't an option, getting under the deck is difficult at best.
Real world problems! LOL

Yes, this is a problem I share if they are on the north side of my house. The only solution is I just don’t shoot them. It’s their safety zone. But I eventually catch up with them.

I have some really interesting and some funny skunk videos that I send to another member here. I never tried to post a video here. Maybe I’ll try to post one of the garbage raider skunk that took a slug.

Garbage raider.

@Vetmx The way his tail was cocked up and then went down slow looks like he may have lit your yard up, but I can’t see any spray on my phone. Did he spray?

 

[Vetmx]

No, he just did his best tipping over stuffed animal imitation. I fully expected a spray job because of the .25 slug. I didn’t care because the wind was in my houses favor and that’s a couple hundred acre bean field out beyond his carcass. It smelled a little when I scooped it up with a shovel for disposal.

@Vetmx The tip was funny looking. They die a little different. That slug did look like it smacked him with some authority. Was that a specialty slug or a mass produced slug from a tin?

The gun was my Chaipan P15 .25 shooting a 32gr AVS slug.
