I ran into a skunk fishing at night that was a bit aggressive (he came to me I didn't walk in on his home) and almost had to shoot it with my 10mm. While that would work I was wondering if I had had some quality gel pepper spray if that could have made him stop.
Yes they are little but I don't want the germs from a bite, or rabies even though I could get treated for it.
The typical 'Bear repellent' (https://www.amazon.com/Frontiersman-Spray-Holster-Access-Strength/dp/B072Q4KBSX) would work, whether it would stop the skunk from spraying you back, I don't know.
