I have shot skunks quite a few times, and I have found that they generally don't spray if you are quiet and shoot them 10 times in the lungs from about 50 yards away. I also have found that shooting them with a 12 gauge and 2 shot 6 times from about the same distance and leaving them there works too. Anyone ever wonder why everything else can get out of you traps, but skunks can't? Go for the lungs.
