Thanks to all for the advice, (Jay...........your sick......in a very funny way,) having never dealt with a taxidermist before, I'm still wondering what a ballpark figure on his services might be. Anyone got a clue? I like the dog idea, just not set up for one right now. Used to have a Great Pyrenees, (elegant protection,) but don't have the fencing or the time to raise a pup.
Thanks again, ..Oh and I know it might be cheaper to buy the pelt, but I've got to get rid of this thing and I'd hate to kill it and not use some part of it. Besides, how many of you, (save Jamie and crew,) have a sporran from something you actually hunted?

Respectfully,
David

I have a very crude, ugly sporan that I made out of the hide a self shot deer. I have a self trapped and skinned skunk skin, that is a work in progress, that may someday make a passable evening sporran. and a self shot and tanned dingo hide that is cut out waiting for assembly.

Someone was just asking me how you get the ferret smell out of a skunk fur hide. I told her I had no idea because I've never delt with skunk hide.
Dingo sporran sounds interesting... What's dingo hide like and are you talking about a fur sporran? Good luck, let us know how it works out.

* And I see your answer James. I guess maybe she got a little spray or something when she got the skunk. I didn't think of that because she was talking about the ferret smell, so I thought they had that smell all the time. I will tell her to give it the standard tommader skunk spray bath, LOL.

Unless the skunk sprayed while it was being killed, there is no smell. If there is, tomato juice works well. Not ketchup. But, really skunks don't smell bad, only their spray, if that makes any sense.
