RE: Skunk??
I have trouble with skunks at my place and not much time during the weekdays to sit out and wait on 'em. Those "live catch" traps with a can of tuna in them work really well. They also work well on my barn cat, so if you have cats you might need to put them up.

I would use a live trap. Once you catch it shoot it before you try to move it! Don't move it in the cage alive it will spray you!! Shoot it in the head with a .22 pistol and it will usually not be able to spray. Then you can bury it or whatever. ect.

RE: Skunk??
My boss has a live trap that I can borrow and I have 17HMR that should do a pretty good job at rearranging his brain. Maybe I'll get lucky and catch that stupid cat that keeps leaving tracks all over the hood of my truck! Thanks for the input!

the skunk can not spray if he can not lift his tail.

put a large black trash bag over your live catch trap... just leave the entrance open... after you catch the little stinker pull the bag closed over the end... gently move him to the rear of your car, place the opening around the exhaust pipe and fire that mother up... make a small slit in the bottom of the bag to release the build up of gasses but in 15 minutes it's all over... no smell, problem's solved... everyones happy but Peppe...

RE: Skunk??
we have used this style of trap at are church and have never been sprayed yet. there is one product that does work real well. you can get it from your vet. it is called SKUNK-OFF. comes in a small white bottle. when our dogs take a spray you wet them down with this stuff and let it sit about five minutes then towel dry. if you can smell the skunk after this you have just missed a spot. repeat the process and it works real well. i have used tomato juice, vinegar and all the old cures but never had any luck. try the skunk off you will be surprized.
