I was listening to the Paul Feinbaum show on the SEC Network on ESPN radio. It was the Redneck segment. A caller called in to say that an old farmer once advised him that if you pick up a skunk by the tail, so his feet aren't on the ground, it can't spray you. He said, "That doesn't work." Seems like sound advice. |

Not a theory I would want to test either. |

You need to grab both rear legs and hold them apart. |

"You need to grab both rear legs and hold them apart." Now that is a visual that actually hurts my brain! |

Grab its tail and pull it down and forward so it blocks the musk glands. I've seen this in action and it works. LT |

I'll take your word for it. No need for a demonstration. |

If I understand correctly, we are contemplating a sort of quick-draw contest, in which the human participant has to pick the skunk up correctly before the skunk sprays him. Is that correct? Are there situations in which the human would make this attempt that don't involve alcohol? |

Old Family Legend: Almost 100 years ago (early 1920s) my grandfather took a relative visiting from Scotland on a hunting trip. The relative shot a striped kitty. Went over to check it out and picked it up by the tail. Skunk came too and nailed him in the face. Threw up his dentures. Stunk so bad grandpa wouldn't let him in the car so he had to stand outside on the running boards of the old model A. Never did go back to get his teeth. Never came back to America either. |
