What other animal is just as evil dead as alive? And is able to spoil an acre of land for days with little more than a gesture?

Not one that can have me barfing and incapable of breathing from 50 feet away. Nope, haven't.

Rick,
One quart of peroxide, one cup of baking soda, one tablespoon of dish washing liquid. Mix in an open container, and never put it in a closed container and shake, because it will blow the top off. Apply liberal amounts anywhere but in the dogs eyes. I usually use an old paint brush. The skunk odor will be gone almost immediately. For a long haired, or larger dog, just double the amount. It can also be applied to your lawn, or anywhere the skunk sprays.
I think a male Fisher stinks worse than anything. They rake up piles of leaves and snow and deposit their musk on it during mating season. You can smell it riding by on a snowmobile. You don't want to be walking through a Fisher mound and getting it on your boots. I can think of a lot of things I'd rather do in January other than washing a snowmobile outside!
Most of the mustalids are pretty intense at the right time of year. A red fox is pretty intense in January also. The spotted skunks, have a real long lasting heavy musk. Not as intense at first as a striped skunk, but it lasts a long time. Lure makers use it in canine formulas, for good reason.
My wife finds the smell of otter especially offensive(heavy fish odor).

Plain old Kirk's Castile Soap used to kill skunk odor instantly. It had an excess of lye, and I figured the dog deserved to get it in her eyes. They changed the formula when it somehow became a popular new-agey product. Formerly it was about as popular as Fels Naptha Soap, which has also become a new-agey thing... New-agey folks didn't like their soap taking off the first layer of skin, I guess.

I guess this is a good opportunity to reveal our accidental discovery that Witch Hazel is a great dry bath product for dogs. Get a towel good and wet with Witch Hazel and scrub the dog all over. The dog comes out totally clean, the fur gets a nice soft luster, AND if the dog has any skin issues, they clear up right away. Those of you living where Witch Hazel grows can make it yourselves, otherwise you can buy it by the gallon on Ebay. We discovered this when we were getting desperate to clear up some bedsore type things on our ancient pitbull Ginger, and were trying everything in the house on her.

:eek::eek::eek: Damn . . . Not even the skunk deserves that. :eek:

She fought, killed, and ate a skunk! The damn dog was made of cast iron! Somebody once gave her a gigantic rawhide bone, which she somehow swallowed, in spite of it being over a foot long. It softened and unwound while stewing in her boiler, and she then threw it up, unravelled and something like twelve feet long, while the guys painting my house stood by watching in horror and crossing themselves frantically!

OMG! That one brought tears to MY eyes! Did the dog's head spin around 360 degrees?!?

Very few of them retire young. They retire because they couldn't get a job and "retired" does sound so much better.

And something like 70 other forgettable disasters. Unfortunately one scene in Chained Heat is unforgettable. One of those things you wish you could scrub off of the back of your eyeballs. But please, if we're actually going to talk about films, let's talk about Spaghetti Westerns or Kung Fu movies!

I have something well over 100 B-C-D rated kung-fu movies.
it got so bad there for a while I could recognize the fighting styles the actors were using.

Love those chop saki movies. The oriental version of the sword and loincloth movies of the West!
