I agee that shooting works. Another thing is that even skunks don't like the smell of ammonia, if you want to toss over a poorly sealed containter of ammonia, or squirt ammonia with a pressurized pump tank sprayer, they may move on.
Standard precautions apply: gloves, googles, etc.
No amount of gloves and goggles would make me think it was a good idea to squirt smelly stuff on a skunk. They are better at this game than we are.

Um, you don't need to apply the ammonia directly to the skunk... just the area where they are hiding.
It'd be rare to see a skunk during the day anyway. They like to come out at the dim part of dusk.
A friend of mine who runs live traps now has one that a skunk has found. The skunk keeps coming back and he has gotten sprayed pretty bad a few times getting it out of there.
