Collateral damage is not an issue once Jihad has been declared. |

How do your co-workers respond to your new aroma?
I remember this kis in highschool got sprayed, he was one of those guys who took a beating even if he did not stink......once he was the smelly kid it was all over, he never lived that down. Poor fella was hospitalized from one of his beatings (no one saw a thing and he was KTFO, did not even know who assaulted him), all because he was stinky. |

It took 9 rounds of .22HP to kill a skunk in a trap last winter. After the first round hit, he stood up and sprayed over 20 feet. Came within inches of my wife as she walked around the corner.
We have an awful skunk problem around here...why? Because we literally live IN a pecan orchard. We found out the love areas where there are fruit and nut trees...IE plenty of food. Makes it harder to catch them as they are more likely to just eat the food outside of the trap. They love to get under the house and spray...last for a good 3-4 days. I WILL NEVER TURN LOOSE A LIVE SKUNK FROM TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

MrKandiyohi: You said you wanted to get the skunk. Do you really wanna get him? You see what I'm saying is, what are you prepared to do?
Hawken50: Anything within the law. MrKandiyohi: And *then* what are you prepared to do? If you open the can on these worms you must be prepared to go all the way. Because they're not gonna give up the fight, until one of you is dead. Hawken50: I want to get the skunk! I don't know how to do it. MrKandiyohi: You wanna know how to get the skunk? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the ARFCOM way! And that's how you get the skunk. Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I'm offering you a deal. Do you want this deal? Hawken50: I have sworn to capture this man with all legal powers at my disposal and I will do so. MrKandiyohi: Well, the Lord hates a coward. MrKandiyohi: Do you know what a blood oath is, Mr. Hawken50? Hawken50: Yes. MrKandiyohi: Good, 'cause you just took one. Now go and take a bath. You smell like skunk. |

I predict the battle will rage for years with heavy casualties on all sides. Eventually the skunks will be on the ropes, that's when they'll detonate the nuke they got from the Chechens! Say goodbye to the neighborhood!
|
|
Same here, I almost hurt myself laughing! I can just see the dog and the cat looking at each other, then at Hawken50, wondering what his problem is. |

So you are saying she was a skunk whisperer? |

If that fucker is now deceased, click here to claim your free box o ammo!!! if not, you have given aid and comfort to the enemy. obviously you're not with me, so you must be against me. i would smite you were it not for the harsh penalties. |

Joker: Ever shoot any female skunks or babies?
Hawken50: Yeah! Joker: How can you shoot female and baby skunks? Hawken50: Easy, ya just don't lead em so much! Bring on the Jihad Brother! Allah Snackbar! |
|
No, I'm just making fun of you, that's what the means. Good luck on your jihad. |

Have you truly tried every avenue available before deciding to kill one of God's creatures.
Ah what the fuck Kill all of the stinkin bastards! |

At an unnamed federal installation where I happened to work last summer a misguided individual dumped large quanities of dry cat food out for the feral cats. This is quite illegal I might add. As is the nature of the beast, hordes of skunks set up shop for the free meals. It just so happened to be my job to rectify the problem (both the cats and skunks). Preferred method was a .22 cb long out of ASA suppressed Ruger 77/22, although many met their demise via 17 HMR and a couple got the 12 gauge treatment. Body count was in the 20's before the numbers tapered off. If only this contest was held 4 months ago.

I demand your scoring be amended to reflect recent events. |

This thread made me literally laugh out loud. Hawken, your original post was classic!
It almost makes me wish that I had the ability to smell skunk. Almost. From what I understand, it's really not pleasant. I count myself lucky to be among the fraction of the population that cannot smell them though, due to a condition called specific anosmia. (Before you call BS, see for yourself: Specific anosmia) |

Just an innocent question, will ups or fedex ship live animals to NY? If so, what say we just start catching and mailing some "packages" to Hawken50? I haven't seen any black and white furry stinkers around here but I can spray paint a few cats and mail them. I'm not saying hes gone off the deep end yet but if we can mail him a few dozen then I think this will push him WAY over and he might even make FOX news or something.
Skunks are people too!!! Long live the Skunk!!! |

Im predicting a long drawn out war with victory eventually going to the skunks; and Hawken50 eventually going bankrupt due to the cost of the war.
|

I can't smell either. |
|

Hawken50, if it will make you feel any better, I've probably shot more skunks than you have seen. We had a major population explosion of skunks and possums for two or three years back in the mid 80's. I was shooting one or two a night off the porch for a WHILE.
All but two were shot with a .22 revolver and not one single skunk ever sprayed after being shot! What were all these skunks doing on my porch you might ask? My wife fed the cats on the porch and skunks, possums and coons LOVE cheap Walmart cat food. Thats all you need for bait, a small bag of Walmart cat food. |

i wonder then if you'd be immune to the other effects of being sprayed directly. specifically, severe headache, blurred vision, nausea, burning sensation, and, worst of all, lack of sex for as long as it takes you to rid yourself of that awful odor. although my wife said it was gone about 24 hours later, i still smell it everywhere. so are you immune to all the effects? |

|
You can't smell anything, or just can't smell skunk? It is only skunk that I can't smell. |

Well, my father thought it was "funny" once to rub his hands all over the neighbor's dog (which had just gotten sprayed) and shove his hands in my face when I walked outside. I had no idea was he was doing and looked at him like he was insane. He seemed a little shocked that I couldn't smell it. I had none of the untowards effects that you list above. In fact, the only one that I could foresee being an issue is the lack of sex part, as my partner can smell skunk just fine. A tomato juice bath should take care of that, though. |

Don't know. I've only been around two skunks in the last 30 years, both were shot by me, both died right there, never smelled anything although the people I was with were nauseated. My wife can smell ants in the house. |
|||
|
Cool! I can smell fire ants. I don't tell too many folks that because they look at me funny. Tell her we should start a club or something.
|
|
Fascinating. Can you describe the smell? Does it work only when there are a lot of them, or can you smell just one or two also? |
|
|
Spray paint a white stripe down it's back and tie him down in an open area.Skunk Decoy!
|

Snuggles: "Geez Hawken50, first you scream like a little girl when you see me out for a walk, then you stick this cage where I can't help but walk into it. There something wrong with you boy...."

Reminds me of the time that a huge amount of skunks decided to declare a jihad of their own....apparently against vehicle traffic on a country back road near where I was living at the time. They did their damnedest, I'm sure, but even 15 skunks at a time can't take out a Ford F350 @ 30MPH.
At least, that's what it looked like...this one 2ish-mile stretch of road must have literally had two dozen skunks corpses strewn around in various states of decay in a 2-3 week period a few years ago in early spring. They must have been young-ins, but it was still crazy how many dead freaking skunks there were. |

I'm thinking some Mengele type experimentation. Let's solve the "birdshot is for birds only" debate now. |

i find the above post unsettling. i can't quite put my finger on why, it just disturbs me.

Hey Hawken50, I think I have some intel that you should be aware of!
I work on Ft. Hood. In the past few days while patroling around at night in the area around 1st Cav Div I've started to notice more and more skunks running around. I've seen skunks around Hood before but I'm talking maybe a four or five fold increase. One by the map warehouse on 72nd St! Three at a time entering a Motorpool off of Hell on Wheels Ave that contains M1's and M2's! A couple a night out at the Battle Sim Center that houses AFV training simulators!! Several more in the general vicinity of the Ammunition Holding Area and skulking about several satellite communications facilities!!! Putting this all together I'd say you've pissed off the wrong skunks and your personal war is about to be elevated to a new level!!! Hopefully this intel will assist you in your upcoming battle. I hope you have a shitpot of AT4's in your ammo fort. How far away is Ft. Drum BTW? ETA: Be aware that they might send in Skunk Team Six to effect a hostage rescue! |

Thanks for the laugh Hawken50.
I was sweeping out the garage once and a pile if paper bags of nails under a shelf rustled. Having a lot of possums around, I took the broom handle and moved the bags aside to give it an escape route. Much to my surprise there was a skunk ass looking at me with a quivering tale above it. I set a State record in the 40 yd. dash, threw down the broom and went inside to watch the tube. I don't know how long they do the tail quiverin' warning, but .2 seconds was all I needed to haul ass! |
