Most know that I've been live trapping cityfied critters around the house and releasing them in a wooded area not that far from home.....see thread, "a flock of possums" below.

This morning when I checked the trap guess what I saw ?Stinky..jpgskunk2.jpg

When picking up the trap the bugger sprayed me on the shins and feet and after hauling him off I took a shower but I can still lightly smell it......I read tomato juice is good for getting rid of the smell so I'm going to head to the grocery store here in a little bit and get a large can and wash my legs with it.

Score; critters = 0.....Ike = 6 possums and 1 skunk.

I think tomato juice is for fur on animals (???)
 
This is the best recipe for removing skunk odor:


  • 1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide

  • 1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

  • 1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent

  • Mix these together and bathe ("shampoo" in or rub down) the spray victim thoroughly.

  • Be sure to use this mixture immediately after it is created, as it is unstable.

  • Let sit for five minutes and rinse with tap water afterward, and repeat if necessary.


I've even used this mixture on clothing before laundering and it takes it all out.

Mama left a few minutes ago to get the juice and we're going to scrub me down with the juice and hose me off in the backyard

Ken, I've been called an 'animal' a time or two in my life and I do have hairy legs so I kinda figure maybe it'll work. :)

Thanks Gemma, if the tomato juice doesn't work I'll sure give it a try.
 
Well the tomato juice rubdown along with being hosed off in the backyard and then yet another shower but this time with some of mama's girly smelling soap seems to have done the trick.

On the bright side I can now scratch being sprayed by a skunk off my bucket list.......been there done that. :)

Instead of tomato juice, pick up some snappy tom bloody mary mix and vodka.

Recipe:

1 part snappy tom bloody mary mix

6 parts vodka



Mix well, can garnish with a stalk of celery(I wouldn't).

enjoy!
 
A friend of mine got dusted by a skunk when we were hunting one time, he threw away his clothes. Another time he stepped into a cesspool full of guts and other crap behind a slaughterhouse while we were heading out for a another hunt. He threw away his clothes that time also..

He was a good friend and a great shot, but the ride home with him sometimes was brutal.. :upset:

Thomas, when I do have a Bloody Mary I like V-8 juice, just a touch of Worcestershire sauce, a little salt & pepper and sometimes just a drop or two of hot sauce......I know a fella that likes to use Clamato juice but I've never tried it.

I don't put celery in mine either......celery is for wabbits. :)
 
I just passed over a dead skunk in the road the other day, the smell doesn't bother me much. A looong time ago, my dog was sprayed in my back yard, and we did the bath with tomato juice....it helped, and wasn't too bad of an experience.

I've been "on the wagon" since 2006, but I'm ready for a nice mixed breakfast beverage. ;)

I like to mix Vodka with Milk of Magnesia to make a Phillips Screwdriver.
