The best selfbow shot ever ! (in my view)

[DannyBows]

Nice shootin', you really 'Plugged' the little bugger!    

[njloco]

You made the right choice, disgusting or not !

[ishoot4thrills]

Nice shot.

I don't think I would use the hide though. It isn't yet fully prime, at least it wouldn't be in these parts. Can't kill'em in KY right now either. We have to wait a couple more weeks until trapping season comes in and then they're open to hunting as well. I used to trap and I'm telling you right now, skunks ain't no fun skinning! Minks ain't much better skinning either 'cause of the stink, but at least their price is worth it!

I realy hated to shoot.... but it was a "defend" act! Never shot a skunk before....sad!

[blacktailchaser]

man,i would get a rug made out of it...john

Wow, never seen a skunk that color. Is that common in your neck of the woods?

I'd like to shoot a skunk...I want just one skin. So far, I've missed 2.

I agree with you Jim Wright.

[getstonedprimitivebowhunt]

Landman ..I'd bet you'd think different if the skunk was aiming at you at 10 yards.... Ever been hit by a .."SKUNK" ! not a good thing ! Anyway I respect your thoughts..Jeff

Good call shooting the skunk. Sleeping on the couch isn't fun! I got sprayed by one at close range before...eyes swelled up and my nose burned so bad for a couple hours. No fun...let alone the smell.

[JamesKerr]

Nice shot!

[stalkin4elk]

I hope you saved and ------- the arrow!  

[widow sax]

Good for you and great shooting I hate skunks and kill them when I can in my yard.   Widow

I would like to clarify my feelings about this picture being disgusting to me and I am truly not trying to start a piss fight as I realize that I am in the minority over 30 to 1 from the other replies.
 I feel that most of us here are aware that as sportsmen we are well served to avoid kill photos with cigarettes, beers in hand or feet on animals as if we had "conquered" them. I looked at one here recently where the hunter who posted it apologized for not noticing the bucks tongue portruding from it's mouth in the field photo. I concur and believe that we need to be respectful of any animal killed from squirrels to Bison. I simply feel that a photo of an animal with an arrow portruding from it's ass is disrespectful and frankly, disgusting.

[RM81]

At the angle he was and in self defense, he put an arrow in the vitals (just wasn't broadside).  Can't say that I wouldn't do the same thing, but I'm not sure I would post pics of it.

[getstonedprimitivebowhunt]

Ok...Admin. please remove Topic ! Have a great hunting season Guys !

[bucksbuouy]

I find the scenario a little hard to believe. Even if its true a step or two in the opposite direction would have sufficed. You didnt have to shoot the skunk. Period.

[bucksbuouy]

Just googled it. Skunks can only spray 10 feet. Not 10 yards. I doubt it even lifted its tail at you.

[landman]

Thanks Jim for explaining it so I didn't have to.    I suspect the skunk was killed for all the wrong reasons including being able to post and boast.
