How far can skunks spray? If the skunk is forced to spray, it usually humps it backs and turns in a U-shaped position so that both its head and tail face the enemy. That's probably so it can get a better shot away. Skunks can spray up to six metres, and have considerable accuracy up to three. They'll aim for the face of their attacker if possible, because their spray causes severe smarting of the eyes, quite apart from the smell, which is strong enough to cause nausea.
