Help!
My buddy was out hunting tonight and as he was walking out he got sprayed by a skunk. What's the best means of getting the smell off my hunting clothes?

Go to the vet and get some "skunk off". Maybe they sell it at Petsmart, or the other big chain stores too, I'm not sure.

The stuff is worth it's weight in gold. I had a dog that got nailed once, I used that stuff and he slept in the house the next night.

if you can't find skunk off try tomatoe juice.

It's good cover scent. Tell him not to wash it off.

Hang the clothes up for a while in the breeze till the smell "tames" a bit...Scent cover.

MIke,
My friend was out deer hunting when he spied a buck a distance away. As it was getting dark he couldn't see the size of the rack so he decided he would try and stalk it to get a closer look. As a result he was looking at the buck and not where he was walking. To make things worse, he shot at teh skunk only wounding it and then he had to use another arrow before killing it. He managed to get one bolt back but the other is still in the skunk buried in the ground. I did come across a skunk spray remedy. It uses 1 quart or liter of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup or 50 ml of baking soda and 1 tsp or 5 ml liquid soap. Don't put this stuff in a sealed container and use gloves. Good luck.

I hesitate to ask, Benny, but how is it that he got sprayed and YOUR clothes got to smell?

Exactly, Any product on the market designed to eliminate human scent also is good at getting rid of skunk scent.

My dog got sprayed last fall and again a couple of weeks ago, My hunting scent eliminator worked both times.

I would argue that skunk is a terrible cover scent rather than a good one. When a skunk sprays, it is because of danger. To a deer, skunk smell means danger as well.
Here where I live, there are no poisonous snakes, viscious bears or mtn lions, or anything else in the woods that is very dangerous. My worst fear from critters is running onto a skunk while walking out in the dark to a stand. It hasn't happened yet...so knock on wood.
