"if you shoot one in the head it won't spray"

No, but it will release it's "spray". Just easier to clean up if required but just as nasty.

I feel obligated to say this for anyone who doesn't understand just how bad this is... a concentrated "spray" on the ground, in mud and sand, from a skunk that has been shot with a gun will make your eyes and nose water if you walk within 20 feet of the carcass for a week.

Dan got a wee shot... and I understand why he would want to preclude same again. Cute? Yeah, right. Cute as a stomach pump. And they are vermin, prone to rabies. They belong in the woods, not next to Dan.
