Thanks, guys, I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

Update:
Hides smell somewhay better. I didn't have unscented Dawn so now they smell like apple blossom wet skunk. But it is an improvement. Kind of like a truck stop restroom after a millenial cleans it...smells better but still has the cloying smell of unmentionables underneath the no name pinesol.
All in all it is a good experience. My daughter assisted in skinning critters for the first time, and showed an interest in the tanning process. Though going forward it's quite probable that I would opt to just purchase professionally tanned skunk hides.
DC:
The pro's must get rid of the smell somehow or do they euthanize their skunks?
Marc St Louis:
A water/vinegar solution gets rid of the smell

Ozark legend says tomato juice will do the trick! Caveat - I never tried it! I prefer my tomato juice with vodka! >:D (lol)
