Dunno how fox urine would work. I know bobcat urine works on raccoons.
I've fished within 10 feet of skunks and have never been sprayed. I shine my light on them to let them know I'm there, and don't make any sudden moves towards them. They only spray as a defensive measure. Just act normally and don't alarm them, and they'll leave you alone.

Matt, I used to get them all the time, even in the day, a whole family of them.
You wanna borrow my pellet gun?  |

Off topic discussion:
I agree. They're confident little bastards. I've had to be fairly agressive before I've seen any defensive posturing with skunks. Generally they freeze, take a look at you, and carry on with whatever they're up to. |
