Inventive, let us know if it works (and what you do with that skunk).
I bought my Dad (non-shooter cause of eyesight) a little "youth" .22 lever action, I forget if it is a Marlin or a Henry, for the same problem.
With .22 shorts it is very quiet, not even as loud as as the single shot air rifle he was trying to use, and doesn't bother the neighbors. He can't see sights anymore, even in daylight, so I mounted an air gun laser sight (Crossman?) for about $15 and he can head shoot em every time. I still haven't convinced Mom that they are good to eat though.
It will be passed on to my grandson so he will have a rifle that was his Great Grandpa's in his collection.
