I've encountered skunks in the wilderness a couple times. They stop, I stop. Their tails go up as if to say "is this going to be a thing?" and I back slowly away. Their tails go back down and we go about our business. Skunks are effectively immune to wise predators. Most dogs get sprayed once. Golden retrievers often get sprayed over and over. I lived next door to a 90lb doberman cross that got sprayed once, ate the skunk, developed a taste and spent the rest of its life seeking out skunks. That dog was evil.
