I am in Clarinda until Thursday night, but I can stop by on my way home. Just let me know. Thanks. Great of you to offer. Think I'm going to man up and try it today. Just got him out of the trap and into my truck. I can literally taste the smell right now. Wow. This thing has an amazing coat and perfect stripes though, so I have to do it. I'd love to add one to my tanned skin collection. Could be a crazy day. Any advice from people on how to avoid getting "leaked" on? Is there a method of getting the skin odor free after? Thought I saw something about rinsing in a bucket of soap and other things. Thanks!! Jason |

Medium size female. No pics yet. I got it washed and hung up to dry. I used peroxide, soap, and baking soda. Rinsed and now drying. I'm going to skin it tomorrow. I'll report back. I'm just going to take my time and go slooooow. Also thinking of cutting the tailbone off and removing it after it's skinned. Seems like pulling on the tail would cause me some issues.

I take a hot glue gun and spread glue over the anal area to seal the ports that are located on each side of the butt.

I take a hot glue gun and spread glue over the anal area to seal the ports that are located on each side of the butt. trev That's funny you say this. Yesterday after I washed it and hung it to dry, I was thinking of using super glue to "close" things up. That would seal off any leaks. I may just do this now that you say you use glue.  By the way, had another skunk this morning in a 220. If things go swimmingly with my first, I might get adventuresome and try it again. That one didn't spray as the 220 hammered him. |

cybball,
After I put the hot glue on the anal area, I laid a small piece of cellophane on top of that to spread it around so the glue wouldn't stick to my finger. It works great. You can tug on the skin all you want and not have to worry about anything squirting out.
There's videos on youtube that show exactly where the glands are so you don't hit them with the knife.

Done! Super glue trick worked. I put it up too. Man those things are fatty.
Thanks for the ideas. That will look great in my collection.

As promised. One small hole between the legs, but otherwise all went well.  |
