My business card paid off today. Got a skunk removal done right after work, this a.m. Ended up removing the pest from my own ATV shed 
I hope the landowner gives me a decent review on Yelp!
I was making the rounds to check my rat traps; no joy on those, 3 days in a row have found them popped but no dead ones... The little female chihuahua/beagle cross had a skunk all riled up back in a dark corner. I nearly walked into the fatal funnel before i saw the black and white terrorist. The pup kept the stinker busy while I retrieved the M-rod and some pellets from the big house. I just upped the scope game for that rifle with a nice meaty 5-25x50 Discovery HD and did a quick setup at 40 yards. This gun fight had to be at 6 yards for me to see the target over the lawn mower and under the work bench in the unlit shed. The pup harried the skunk like a champ! She got the bandit to turn sideways to me for a good view..... and the unknown hold under sent the .25 AA diabolo ricocheting off the floor and wall and other wall ( twice ) The third volley was sighted along the side of the barrel and into the chest cavity . End of negotiations. No return fire from the skunk. I will give it some time to get a little deader, then it's gonna get tripple bagged and tossed into the trash. Trash man came by yesterday, of course!
It was a nice way to start the weekend.
