Always have some cheap tomato juice in the cabinet just for that. My present boxer has never learned to stay away from the business end of a skunk. My first dog got sprayed once after that she could dispatch one with out getting stinky.

How can I tell.... QUOTE]

Try and tell us that tomorrow under a foot of fresh snow :mad: I wish it wasnt true. But you being a fellow Minnesota boy, you have found it impossibe to dodge the upcoming storm forecast. It seems to happen every year, we get teased with a week of nice weather and poof, winter again.

When I took my trappers course we were given a recipe to wash off skunk spray and I have found it works really well. Mix 4 c. hydrogen peroxide with 4 tbsp. baking soda and 1 tsp. dish-washing soap.

Not a chance spring is here! it was -31°c this Morning Last week it was nice+6°c and warm but 110km 65mph Winds did tons of damage here.
I am so lucky the hound never ran into a skunk! well he ran into one once but I shot it before it could spray him.
When he was very sick and dying of the big C he tangled with a porky got a quill in the lip Porky got a 165gr Seirra at 3400fps :msp_laugh:

The other thing one learns as a Minnesotan is that the weather report is only good for telling the story AFTER it happens. Call for a foot and we'll get an inch. Call for an inch and well get a foot. My official MN forecast is as follows. Cold with a good chance of snow till June. Warm with a good chance of rain June till October, then snow and cold again.... ;)

Headed out to clear off about 8" of spring right now.

Finally had a chance to use the new 4" tow strap I got for Christmas, neighbor kid missed his driveway last night.

Haven't seen skunks yet, but have seen a couple coons out and about.
