Does anyone have any suggestions on how to break a 4 year old bad butt strike cur dog off of a skunk. He never has trashed on anything but the last few hunts he hates a skunk, but he will go find a hog afterwards.....he just stinks really bad!!!!!!

I don' know, our strike dogs will do the same thing on occasion. Sometimes its good entertainment, we went hunting one night with countryman_563 and Hoghunter04 and our dogs bayed about 50 yards from us down in a ditch. They took off running towards the dogs and when they got there, they turned tail and booked em back towards us at mock 10. We thought maybe a big hog got after them. Come to find out our old Red dog was try to bring a skunk to them. LOL  It was hillarious! |

Tried that with a chicken and the dog was thrilled that his new found kill was attached to him and he played with it, rolled on it and tried to eat some of it for 3 days. It was stinking so bad and gross that we cut it off. Just got rid of the chickens but good luck with skunk. |

A dead skunk,55ga metal barrel and a hill might work. |

Thanks for all the suggestions, but I have tried to get close enough to the skunk to put a string on it to tie to his neck and around 2 to 3 feet your eyes go to watering and I start poqking, so now I know why he rolls around on the ground trying to get it off of him. I will say that some people say that it affects thier nose but he has struck and caught hogs 10 min. after he has killed a skunk and he won't bark at the skunk either. He is a good looking dog! If you know anyone with skunk problems, here is your dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   |

yeah doing what i said with chickens usually does not work but the dog or the one my uncle did it to did not want to eat the skunk just kill it then would bring it to the porch and then leave it. It worked for him. He said it allready stunk so bad around there he figgured a couple of days with it tied to the dog would not be too bad.

my dog has taken butt whoppins for trashing on skunks. HE thinks he is smarter than everyone cause now he just kills them without making a single peep. He Rolls up on us like he has been working hard on a track or something smelling like a Skunk.

I think some dogs think that skunk smell is cocaine, they just cant get enough of it, at least they normally kill them without barking....shock collars are the only thing that works for me but you then have to see it happen...good luck

That's why i'm real hard on my young dogs that I raise from pups... it's hard to break bad habits off older dogs that come in.

SilvertonBoarDogs has a JAM-UP finished strike dog (Jessie), and everytime I've hunted over him he found a skunk. When you smelled the skunk, it was time to tighten up the boot laces and make sure you had all your gear secured, cause he was gonna be on a hog within 5 minutes. I'll never understand how he can sniff out a hog with a mouthfull of skunk spray. I always say he is "cleansing his pallate". |

I think Mike's Tweety dogs skunk problem can be traced back to her owner. You see, Mike's a little trashy himself. Skunks and snakes are his problem...but he's struck enough hogs that we keep him around  No guns were used in the harming of this skunk  Mandi's dog Lizzie sure likes a skunk too. She might go 6 months without nailing one, but when she does get one, she makes it count. |
