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.
Oh I'm definitely in favor of backing away. This guy was coming at me faster when I started to back away lol! Yeah I guess it sort of seems obvious now that you say it, it's a spraying animal, if it doesn't like pepper spray it'll spray back naturally. I'll stock up some tomato juice.
