The skunks I have caught in leghold traps have always been waiting for me quietly without spraying.Using a revolver, a shot to the lungs with a .22 short dipatches them without spraying. I shoot them and leave for a while as they don't expire instantly with this shot.I haven't tried a kill stick but have tried shooting them in most if not all of the other ways mentioned and this is the only one that consistently works for me.I think the low velocity of the .22 short or CB cap that someone mentioned is important.
