I don't like to kill stuff either except for food. Needs to be swift and accurate. I shoot about all my deer in the neck for that reason and also because it saves the front quarters from being a bloody mess.
That said, I understand your "tiger by the tail" perdicament. Gotta handle it somehow. Those skunks sound pretty brazen. Opossum and coons are a bigger problem around my neck of the woods. They both love the cat food too. What about this - spike the catfood with exlax. Skunk comes out at night, fills tummy, re-enters den, shats the place up and has to move out LOL.
P.S. Thank you for your service in Vietnam Destroyer. My dad served over there from I think 69 - 72 or so. Drafted at the tender age of 18 like so many others.
