Guys... I about barfed for the first time skinning out an animal... Ok so we have some chickens and something has been comming at night and plucking a pretty good amout of feathers off of them. So last night I was out side about 9:45p.m. it was dark out and I heard the chickens getting uppset. I ran inside gabbed the spott light and my 22 and headed back outside. I shinned the light and there was a skunk trying to get them so I raised the 22 and saw the cross hairs on the front half of its body and shot! The skunk fell over and never moved again. Well I had just bought a tanning kit from vandykes taxidermy about 3 weeks ago so I thought it would be cool testing it out on a skunk. I just got around to skinning the skunk today and I started cutting and pretty soon I press down on the belly trying to make a cut not thinking about it spraying... It sprayed the table I was working on (luckly) I never did get sprayed but man I was gaging when I smelt that up so close.
