do you wash them to get the smell off or do you just let tem air out?

I put up around 25 skunks per season and if you use a syringe and acetone you shouldn't have any smell thus no reason to wash or air out. If you need more info, PM me

Yeah, just dispatch them with acetone. Very quick, and easy. Cut out the glands, and skin without worry of them smelling. ![](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/currie05/Coonhangmanpolling.jpg)

i skin all mine and they pay pretty good , groney gave me 8$ this year and a few hit 12$ at nafa last year. been doing the acetone job also and saves alot of essence for the bottle and keeps my co-workers from crying.

would be nice to see a video, of using acetone. Nick C had a nice one on here about a month and half ago.

Is that a bottle cap off a plastic coke bottle holding the syringe to the painter pole?

Mouth wash is great to get the skunk smell off the dog . I would think it would on the skunk pelt . I never tried it on the skunk . I don't do them up for 5 bucks .Not worth my time
Keep it simple and If it aint broke don't fix it
