Title: Re: skunk Post by: aladatrot on June 21, 2009, 01:06:02 pm I have a dog whose vice is skunks. Its not that nobody has tried, she's just hard headed about it. Come to think of it, some of the better dogs we've ever hunted with had skunk issues that couldn't be broken. It gets you thinking anyway.

Funny thing is, she never gets sprayed, but bays one like a champ.

Title: Re: skunk Post by: nosightsneeded on June 21, 2009, 08:31:43 pm I have a male dog that over the last three hunts has developed a taste for skunks. Its seems to only be if the hunting is slow. I am always worried about getting on one with rabies or is sick. As far as messing with his nose he got on a skunk and a little bit later stuck a big ole boar.
Title: Re: skunk Post by: crackerc on June 21, 2009, 08:37:03 pm Knock on wood I have never had a dog mess with skunks. Had about every thing else though, had one dog that would try to catch and kill every snake he came across...not good in Fla with all the moccasins and rattlesnakes.....I had to get rid of him for a yard dog, my heart couldn't take him trying to catch moccasins that were in the water...with ME!!
Also had my JJ dog catch a couple of otters. Now THAT is a bad cat when you get one riled up...long teeth and there is no where, I don't think, a dog can grab an otter that he can't bite back...... Title: Re: skunk Post by: Live Oak on June 22, 2009, 01:45:03 am I had one that would bust a skunk when nothing else was moving. Get a one gallon pumpup spray jug. Add a half gallon of water, one box of baking soda, one bottle of 3% hydogen perxocide and a squirt of dish detergent mix well and keep on hand. Just a soon as you can after the dog busts a skunk soak the dog down with the mixture. One, it will make the dog smell better. Two, mine hated it worst than any beating. It did not take him long to learn to stop skunking!
Title: Re: skunk Post by: mutt hunter on June 22, 2009, 02:13:50 am no skunks tonight. that dog is no longer just a help dog. he started huntin his butt off tonight and found and bayed a grunter tonight. but when i got close my new skiddish catch dog let go and the 3 dogs left couldnt hold him.
Title: Re: skunk Post by: T-Bob Parker on June 22, 2009, 08:09:17 pm in the vets office today and she had a warning posted from fort bend animal control about a skunk w/ "aggresive rabies" crawling through a window and attacking a kid and then the momma at some house in fort bend county. apparently the aggresive form is much more rare than the "dumb" form but there is now one confirmed case. so keep an eye on ole yeller. that being said with my dogs the hunts not over till sombody gets skunked, thankfully gator has a totally different bark for skunks so i know when to run in and when to send in a newby
