I don't know about your neck of the woods, but in most sporting goods
stores you can find fake skunk odor to mask the human scent for bow
hunting.  This might be a good place to start, in lieu of ripping the
glands out of a real skunk.  As one other reader stated, skunk odor is
most certainly unpleasant, but except for the direct spray case, it is
not a particularly violent smell - just foul.
