Oh, and on the subject of drowning them...
This is a technique I've considered, but didn't want to contaminate the stock tank. I felt the technique would be slow, while a shotgun is immediate and thus more humane. I did as much Google research as I could, and found this input interesting. "They" say that the skunk doesn't actually drown, which is inhaling water into its lungs, but rather that it suffocates. I read that the skunk will essentially block or plug up its throat, and without getting new oxygen into the lungs it will suffocate on the carbon dioxide that remains.
True? Ask Google, I guess.
