[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 209599, member: 5993"] Used to trap dozens with connibears and live traps! Watch out with connibears that you don’t kill dogs or wanted pet cats! Feral cats, great. id rig the live traps with two ropes. One to drag the skunk and trap way out In a field, the other to pull to open the trap to let mr skunk exit, then blow him away! There are traps animal control make out of pvc pipe where the skunk goes on, cant get out and can’t raise his tail to spray. Supposedly they can’t spray if they can’t raise their tail. Then go out of town, let him go and blast him, or go to the river and drown them. Animal control used to do this before some humaniac caught them, and yelled! I drowned lots in live traps and never had one spray. Pull the trap into the water with a long rope. I use el cheapo cat food from the dollar stores, 2 or 3 cans for a buck for bait, though old minnows, fish guts, carp work. you can catch them in paw traps but then you have a live stinky fully locked and loaded skunk to deal with, and no safe way to move em! i NEVER drive by a live skunk! Even behind a no hunting sign! Hate em!
