Ha ha...I think some breeders have even developed some with different patterns and even white ones.

There's a albino skunk in my yard sometimes. Lol I named it ghost.

Could be if it could be caught . The whole time I've lived here I've only seen it twice.

A .22 Magnum will be plenty but a standard .22 LR round nose would take care of them if you hit them correctly. Stick with solid, preferably jacketed, rounds because hollow points often blow up on their fur and only injure them temporarily. Also, don't go for a body shot. They are mostly fur so if you do actually hit them, the bullet will have a hard time penetrating. That was the problem with my 17HMR hunting rounds on skunks. Too much kinetic energy in the bullet, too little momentum, especially for ballistic tips and hollow points. FMJ rounds were a totally different story, but I never used them for hunting for obvious reasons.
bb's have terrible penetration. I had a bb barely go through a small rabbit at only 3 foot distance with a pumpmaster 760. On the other hand my Beeman rs2 dual barrel and my ruger airhawk blow holes out the other side of the rabbit. I've killed raccoons and skunks with both. Amazing guns! The. 22 on the Beeman helps a lot with damage and is overall 1000 times better for kills at any distance. I'd recommend one of these two rifles and .22 over. 177. Be careful if killing either a skunk or raccoon and keep your distance and keep a metal baseball bat nearby just in case the rifle doesn't do its job.
Here's an awesome kill I got on a rabbit with the ruger air hawk at about 100 feet with a badly sighted in scope and crosman destroyer hunting pellets.
Killed instantly with a dead brain shot. Great bait frozen for bear season.
