[QUOTE="Allen, post: 209582, member: 389"] I use a live trap to catch skunks, and then I give them a ride into town to make up for all the cats the city slickers bring out to my place. :;:muahaha No, actually I do use live traps baited with wet catfood. A simple can of friskies buffet will bring any skunk in from miles around. Before you catch the skunk though, might I suggest tying a lengthy rope onto the live trap. Once you've caught said smelly kitty, hook the rope onto your 4-wheeler and drag it out to the execution field. They won't spray unless you're close enough to get blasted, so far anyway. If you really want to load it up onto a pickup to take it a long ways away, you can use the blanket trick. Take an old blanket and hold it up between you and the skunk in the trap, as you get close enough, just gently lay the blanket over the trap. Again, if they can't see you, they won't spray (and if they do, the blanket will protect you. Again, transport the little fella to his demise. Getting them out of a live trap so you don't shoot it up can be a little tricky, some will open if you put them on their side. A skunk I did this to a couple years ago just took a nap and I felt really bad about having to wake him up to evict him from the trap. [/QUOTE]
