Re: Went scouting for antelope and got skunked!
Wind was blowing about 15mph right to left. He landed on his back and sprayed straight up in the air. Wind carried it away and you could hardly smell it. I know what you mean though. You'd be better of buying one already tanned from a trapper.

Nice shot. How far?

It was close. 50 yards at the most. Had the scope cranked to 20X, offhand, through the fence, 15mph crosswind, running skunk. Pretty easy shot at that range though. The kids got pretty wound up over it though!

I've seen skunk on this side of the state in day light as well. Must be something in the water

I was scouting north and west of Casper. Put on over 100 miles in the area, glassed a lot, and saw 15-20 antelope. Here around Gillette they are everywhere including my yard. Hopefully I can locate some in the western part of my area (73). It's always a fun hunting trip to take the kids on. Not alot of walking and usually good weather.

+1000 for taking those kids every chance you get....the best days I've ever had outside have been with my loved ones. This pic was a few weeks ago checking out the antelope and deer.

Good for you, my friend! My kids are 6 and 3, so we get a little limited on what we can do, but I sure enjoy having them along. I already have them both their first 2 rifles, tucked away for several years yet.

Re: Went scouting for antelope and got skunked!
Used to trap skunks to help pay my way through high school. I would pop them at the base of the skull with a .22 lr and pick them up right away as they did not spray.
One time I had one move just as I shot, NASTY!, I almost puked and the air had a blue green haze to it.
It was easy money, I had found a good supply of them and at $5/each, it was worth the trouble.

Just got word from my rancher bud in TX that I am getting an antelope tag this year. I think I'll take my GAP 260. I was there PD hunting in June and saw some pretty nice bucks. Hope they hang around til I get back!
