Put a camera in the barn to see how many cats we might have. Who shows up? Pepé Le Pew! Tried to post a vid but AVI not supported?

havahart trap in a plastic bag
oriented in such a way that you can see what's in it from a distance with magnification to confirm skunk rather than cat, then approach from the other end so it doesn't see you

then you close up the plastic bag and put it into another plastic bag
and another plastic bag
then toss the whole thing in the trash, hopefully the stinky stays inside the skunk, if it doesn't then hopefully it stays inside the bags

if it is just a kittykat in the trap then just toss it in the rain barrel for a little while and reuse the trap

if you wrap your trap in a bag they are normally really docile, I've trapped and hauled them away, but if you choose to shoot them in the trap the bag contains the oils and smell,
Shoot hi, and dump him in the bag, double bag, dump in trash and call it a day, 30 years of doing it says it works.. its an oil, keep it contained to the bag and your golden.

they love catfood.

don't care if throwing away 20 bucks to avoid getting sprayed by a skunk makes me a pussy

live trap in a trash bag, and if you have any balls drop it in a trashcan full of water.

open end first just so I don't have to hear it didnt work:lmao::lmao:
 
i had a deal with the local "dog catcher" when I moved in 30 years ago, I had a trap and they had a trap, I made a dog tag with my info on it so we would just swap traps for the first 5 years I lived here, rules changed and he retired , Sadly now I have to discreetly deal with them on my own.
 
Our garage skunks and foxes only come in the garage when we’re dumb enough to leave the food out and the door open. If we can get the cats in the garage and close it up before 9:00 for a week it’s another 3 weeks until they come back.

It’s hard when the weather is perfect at night as they have many holes to hide in and sleep all night.

The skunks don’t ever spray, the cats just sniff noses with them and go back to sleep.

So, if your wife lets you either put the food away, or close the door, you’ll be golden.

Have -a-heart is also easy, drop it off where somebody didn’t pay for their hole.

Our old house they would come out of the forest next door and play with one of our cats. For us they’ve been kinda like honey bees, just don’t piss them off.

I’ve moved stuff in the garage where he would hide from me and shop him off and he just wanted out.

Now the fatass raccoon will just keep eating, and bail at the last second. We came home after dark once and he ran out between her feet and brushed both legs.

She thought it was the cat until she saw the cat.

50 Cent can of tuna. Punch a hole in the top to wire it in the cage and punch a hole near the bottom to let the goodies drip out guarantees they stay in the trap long enough to trip it.
 
smallest trap they'll fit into, the tube type skunk traps work really well. My brother traps them then takes them swimming for 15-20 minutes
 
We use the those traps and throw a blanket over the trap to carry it down to the river.

Normally we get really big skunks and it takes 2 hands to carry that trap.
 
Buy this or make one...

Spray Proof Skunk Trap

Spray Proof Skunk Trap from Wildlife Control Supplies

Drill two inch or so hole into top behind handle, cover with wire mesh to prevent escape. This allows you to see in it. See below...

Bait with peanut butter. You will almost certainly catch it. From there, do as you will.

I used to just drown them and throw them away. However, when they die, they can release stank upon the world, even under water. You aren't sprayed exactly, but the extremely pungent smell gets into clothes and you must wash them immediately.

What I do now, as I did this morning actually, is take the trap and drive them 5-10 miles away and either dump them in a swamp off a culvert (swamp water is 3' below foot level, so Skunk goes into the drink before spraying, if they even realize what's happening) or, using similar means, I dump them off a bridge into the river.

If you don't care about the money, take the whole goddam trap and throw it in a pond, creek, river, lake, whatever and walk away.

I really wouldn't care much about them if they didn't dig holes in my yard. I've begun working to kill any grubs and pests that might live in the grass, but I'm pretty sure they're going after the nuts that the squirrels bury.

I have this process down pretty well after two years and 48 trapped skunks. 23 I killed, 25 I trapped and released. I marked a few of them. None have ever shown back up.

The skunk used the cat door into our shop this year. Two of our cats have been sprayed twice so far. None of the dogs have been sprayed.

Four years ago, we had two skunks in the shop when a contractor took the door off for months. My cat that just passed was black with a white stripe on his back, so I thought it was him at my feet and went to pick him up. My cat was on a shelf at my eye level looking at me like WTF??? I touched both sides of that skunk, then ran!!!! :laughing:
