I didn't read the whole thing, just this epitaph. Down here in Texas, if in the city limits of an incorporated area....city recognized by the state, discharging a firearm is illegal. If he was in such a place then so be it.
If in the country, the only regulations on that sort of thing are published by the state Game and Fish commission and they define what has a hunting season and what does not. Of course if you deliberately abuse an animal then there are "Crimes Against Nature" that cover it.
We have skunks down here and semi-annually they breed which brings out the bucks in search of "prey". They are a nuisance surely as Gophers are where they are located (elsewhere in the US). While in the search mode they are highly obnoxious with their smell permeating the area within 100' of themselves. They love to get in your barn or under your house, especially in the middle of the night when the smell wakes you up and holy cow, phew. Beating on the floor works usually but it takes awhile for the smell to dissipate.
They are nocturnal and usually a lot of noise will run them off. If you see one out during the day, especially if acting peculiarly, you can bet it's rabid and needs to be exterminated. You can send the skull to the state for analysis (if you don't shoot them in the head), but who wants to dismember a skunk, pack it in a sealed bag (the post office will smell it anyway) and ship it to Austin. If you have ever been really close to one the smell is so intense it will shut down your respiratory system and open up your digestive system. That's BAD.
