One way is to take a scapel  or razor blade and skin  or make circle cut around glands fur and all and then pinch fur and pull up and cut glands out whole  an cut off carcass.  ( you have all the skunks glands and the fur covering them  including anus ect)  this way you can skin skunk just like any other animal  and not worry about putting pressure on glands.... If you have a very sharp knife  you can.   use instead of razor blade but not many people do and  you canmake precise cut where you want without pressure.  Good luck.. Nice skunk , taxidermy or  hat market would get you most money... fur  price is about 8 dollars if that
