Once I was told that they don't like water so you can wait for them and hose-spry them away. In addition, I found this web site: how-to-get-rid-of-stuff for you which is quite educational and gives good advise.
Here is the link:

How to Get Rid of Skunks - HowToGetRidofStuff.com

Good luck!

BTW, I like the picture!

He's most likely looking for food. Flavio gave you a good website to check. However I would think of it as a photo op. Just keep your distance. I once had a whole family living on my property for a while. I loved watching the parents and the babies and then one day they just left. They didn't hurt anything.

I agree with the fun photo op comment, I've taken several cool shots over the past few nights.

Problem is my buddy got in on the action and he's not smelling so great right now...........

Oh yes. My dog got skunked once a long time ago and I can still remember it. She really smelled bad for a long time and it was worse when she got wet. They sell a product called Skunk out and that really helps to neutralize the smell. Good luck. But please don't hurt the skunk.
