Need Help On A Skunk

Submitted by Homer on 01/28/2004. ( ) 64.95.24.238

I have a skunk that a friend found in one of his traps, I plan on mounting it up because it has excellant markings, My question here is abouting skinning, I plan to do a dorsal incision ,but considering I have never skinned a skunk I was curious on the whereabouts of the stink sack. Where is it and is there any easy way of skinning it without rupturing the smelly thing. Thanks for any help.

You may want to insert paper towels in the ducts

I have found with skunks, mink, coytoes and fox, to carefully insert paper towels into the anus and scent ducts, this will block most of the stink. good luck
