IamJustlucky, you really are lucky! I heard of some farmers taking a 410 shotgun to the hen house to whack skunks. DTR. But I vividly remember in a Spring of the year finding a skunk walking in a field.My friend said shoot him! I had a .243 and I think big 100s in it. Hit was good, but he started making big circles! I hit him again and he changed his mind and started walking away. Next field we spotted yet another! This time I said you shoot him and I'll watch! At about 75 or so yards, he hit him between the shoulders, right behind the head. I saw the red circle ! This one ran at us ! He waited til it was broadside and whacked him hard enough to roll him over. It got up and again, walked away. We looked at each other in utter disbelief! Never before nor since have I heard of anything like it. But I swear it is the truth.
