I took some days off from work to get an early jump on this season. I saw a lot of deer and should have taken a nice 6 point that came within 40 yrd, but I held out for bigger and better. So to make a long story short, I didn't shoot anything and to top it all off got skunked. Literally. Massive skunk snuck up behind me and got me. Pist.  How do I get this stank off me?

I think they sell special soap to get that smell out. Might want to check walgreens or cvs???
Also Ive heard that if you bathe in tomato paste the smell will subside.
Thats the thing about life, nobody gets out alive.

Always heard bathing in tomato juice would work.
Maybe a scrub brush and a lot of "fast orange" hand cleaner???? The pumice might get a little rough, but I bet it'd work.
I'm sure others will chime in here soon enough.
Tolerance is the virtue of a man without conviction.
The end of the world began the day it was created, and life is a sexually transmitted terminal disease.

There is a good home rem. on the internet somewhere. Has to do with vineger and other stuff. Sister In Law got sprayed and used it and it worked great. Alot better the tomato juice. If I find it I will post it on here.

OK I was wrong its not vineger it is Paroxide. Here is the deal.
Skunk Smell Remover 1 quart 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 cup Baking Soda
2 tbsp Dish Detergent. The stuff for washing dishes in the sink, not something for dishwashers.
Mix the ingredients in a large bowl, because it will boil up like Vesuvius. We are, after all, making an oxygen generator. Wash the dog with this while it is still foaming, because it is the oxygen which reacts with the thiols in the skunk stink to neutralize the odor. If it sits around, it will loose it's efficacy because the oxygen boils off. Don't try to store it in an airtight container, because it will blow up. The brew also works for clothes, humans and unlucky cats.

Yep, that mixture that predator posted works. I saw it on Mythbusters one night, then two hours later my retriever jumped a skunk and got pegged. Used it on him and it worked pretty good.

So, did you insure that the skunk won't ever do this to anyone else again? A little target practice?
Glad that you were able to get the stench off.
A hog is nothing more than a bullet receptacle.

This works my dog got sprayed a month ago and ran straight into the house and started rolling around in the carpet. We used this to give him a bath. He still smelt a little around his snout but was lot better. It's alot harder to get it out of the carpet and air conditioner vents...
