Got out for the first time this year, Springer was crossing in front of me and turns on a dime but just stops and starts wagging tail.Since he has a strong flush I'm wondering whats up so I get right behind him and he is face to face with a big skunk, I didn't want to reach in to grab his collar since they are only a foot apart,so I just beat it in the other direction and yelled here and lucky for me he listened.By the dogs body language I think he wanted to play with him.Seen A few hens and 1rooster that I fanned on with both barrels.Short hunt it got to warm today.
 
You and the dog were lucky on that one. Especially seeing how close your dog was to the skunk.

I've been in similar situations where the ending wasn't so pretty.:eek: lol
 
went the other way for me too years ago. Ground zero was her chest. 10 hours back in an SUV wasn't fun. I hung a air freshener from my cap on the ride home. :(:(
Yes, I peppered the skunks a$$
 
Lucky lucky lucky. On our first SD trip last year about ten minutes before dark my brother in laws dog took one point blank. What a nightmare that ensued.
