I always seem to get a family of skunks that take up under my front deck. I see them almost every night. Never noticed any real smell. Never seem to spray near where they live. They always give me a wide berth and I always do the same for them. No sense stinking myself up if I can help it.
Only real issues is my wife and I come home late some nights and if I forget to leave the light on outside it is kind of tense walking down the walk to the door.
