Hi Jesse, I have had to deal with a lot of skunks over the past 5 years. At first I always shot them in the head and they always sprayed. Then I heard that a heart shot was effective and they wouldn’t spray. I have a bait station set up so the skunk is in perfect position, I put canned cat food under a cinder block. And the last three I’ve shot didn’t spray. My landlord had them tanned. After the impact the skunk takes off for cover but doesn’t get far, one did make it under my shop but it was dead and I snagged it with a rake. The heart is low and just behind the front leg. I was very skeptical about it until I tried it. The cat food under the cinder block keeps the skunk busy. Good luck, I also have a hose and sprinkler set up by the bait station incase the skunk sprays... you just turn it on and go close all the windows. The spray is strong enough to burn grass! One skunk I head shot sprayed a large spot on the lawn and the grass died!
