That would have been bad news! The only run I had with a skunk was once I was on my way out and was walking in the field toward my truck. Was about halfway out I noticed a coon in front of me that did not see me. I started to walk faster and quietly and was with in about ten yards and then it stopped looked at me and then stood on its front legs and was dancing side to side? I thought what the heck? So I pull up my bow to shoot and look though the scope and then I realized what I had got myself into!!! I about fell on my arse trying to back out of there so fast. The only thing I could think of the wind was blowing pretty good from me toward the skunk so I do not know if he sprayed but the wind stopped it or he was just cocking his gun in case he had to, but I didn't even shootI just ran!! But thats what I get for thinking I was a coon hunter!
