It Just Lingers

My house in Massachusetts is the second one on the left side of the street if you enter from the main road that runs right along the water.

This past evening, I had dinner out with my son. I bought. He drove. :innocent:

After dinner, were almost back at my house, and as soon as my son turned onto my street, around 9:30 or so, his two left tires rolled over a dead skunk about 10 feet from the intersection.

My back door is about 150' away from that dead skunk. A few minutes ago, I let the dogs out for just a minute. Damn, if all I could smell wasn't that dead skunk. Four hours after hitting the thing when it was already dead, and it still reeks. :sneaky2:

That really STINKS ken!!!! sorry to hear that.

Hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and a dash of dish soap.

See? what goes around comes around:innocent: Posting THAT picture had to have consequences:)

Living at the Colorado river, this happens a lot,,, sorry Ken, But you will smell that for weeks,, My Dog got skunked once and I tried EVERYTHING, the smell had to wear off, and it took a long time,, (he don't mess with skunks anymore)

Would you actually work with one of those foul-smelling carcasses? :innocent:

BIL, shot one under the MIL cabin, 'bout 10 years ago (not a good idea) still lingers........

I laughed,and am still laughing,yup still at it..Only because I have been there before.

I've read about using cedar chip baths and a few other things like tomato juice to get rid of the spray-stink. The carcass stink can't be any worse than any other carcass, so it's just the skunk smell that would be troublesome.. heck, I've smelled department store cologne that was worse than skunk ;)

I'm sure you didn't get close enough, but they really have some beautiful fur with great contrast, and they are supposed to be really soft and fluffy. Would I work with one? Absolutely. I love tanning, and roadkill is hazaradous to other drivers and costs the county money to pay someone to pick them up.

Who's gonna mess with a guy that walks in a bar with a skunk on his head? He'd have the whole dance floor to himself!! hahaha!!

Ha ha,, wouldn't be much of a chick magnet would he ? LOL

That mixture works very well! I had one spray the dogs a few years ago and that took care of the smell within a few hours! I also poured the mixture around the shed where he...umm..died and that smell went away also by the end of the day.

Thanks for your input camp10

dude we get skunks on campus all the time at mtu. its really funny when the foreign exchange people go up to pet the pretty "cats" that they've never seen before.

There's another one out there. :gagged: I don't know if it's dead or alive, but it's out there. I just went to let the dogs out and all I could smell out there is skunk.

The dogs didn't go out. I'll wait 'till they start to turn yellow. Maybe begin potty training or something ...........

My grandfather used to trap them in old glass milk bottles, peanut butter on the inside and a string tied around the neck of the bottle and to a tree. They would get their head stuck in the neck of the bottle. I don't think he ever figured out what to do about the stink.
