I have not eaten a skunk ......Yet.
I have talked to them when I encounter them in the woods.
Usually we both see each other at the same time.
Skunk turns around quickly with tail up ready to spray !!!
I tell the skunk if you shoot me I will shoot you back and neither of us will come out a winner.
I then slowly back away as does the skunk.
We both win.
I have been sitting on the ground and watched one meandering along looking for food to eat and I talked to it so it knew where I was.
It looked at me 2 times and I made movement so it knew for a fact I was there and it could have cared less.
10 feet from me and it just kept on it's search, I was not sprayed.
Did have one walking down a road that would not leave the gravel road..30+ yards and it would not move from the middle of the road we were in a truck slowly following about 40 feet behind it honking and telling it to get out of the road.
I finally got out and tossed rocks at it.
It sprayed then left the road.
STINK!!!
