Had a couple of rabid skunks in my community.I saw one,took my .22 rifle and shot in my front yard.My luck a cop was down the road.He came up saw the skunk and almost cited me. I had it tested and it WAS rabid,out during the day too. Never did get cited for it either.

RE: Skunk??
I had a problem with a family of skunks that lived under an old house next to mine. Someone moved in and they relocated to my garage. I placed a 220 conibear trap on the inside of the hole they were comming in through and caught 9 of them in about 2 1/2 weeks. They practically had to crawl on thier bellies to get through the hole so when they were caught by the head with conibear thier boddies were still in the hole. I never had one of them spray.
If you use a live trap limbereger cheese works as a good bait. I have used it for skunks a few times but they will come to just about anything, canned cat food - pasteries whatever. I have caught them with just about whatever I had on hand at the time.
If you through an old blanket over the box trap the skunk might spray but it wont get you then you can move the trap and release the skunk if you want.

RE: Skunk??
shoot it just wait till its in the neighbors yard or across the street, LOL my buddy bill had one in his yard and shot it 2 feet from his porch even after getting rid of the carcass the smell was around for weeks, I told him next time let it carry its own stink away on its own 4 feet across the hiway before you shoot it.

RE: Skunk??
4x4innc.....I use a Trap that I bought at the feed store......I buy a can of SARDINES and
punch holes on the top with an ice pick.....put it in the trap....set the Trap.
When you catch one,keep a distance or he will point his tail and squirt you.Try a HEAD shot
you don't want to bust up the scent glan's....you might trap some FOXES too. IT WORkS!!

I use live traps and the .22 with any type of left over food scraps or fish guts stuff like that. If you shoot it shoot for the lungs not the head, skunks use their lungs to spray and cannot spray if you hit the lungs.

RE: Skunk??
set a live trap, bait with marshmallows to avoid cats. once caught slowly walk up to cage and cover with blanket or towel, once covered the skunk will not spray, trust me I do this for a living! You can then transport to the country and release and shoot it once it is out of the trap. To remove skunk odor, mix 1 quart of hydrogen peroxide,1/4 cup baking soda and 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap in bucket and apply to stunk up area.
