We watched youtube videos of how to sneak up to let them free, but last time it wound up spraying anyway. We have about an acre of land - there wasn't one foot of it that didn't REEK of skunk. It was nauseating. So dh is extremely nervous right now.... he doesn't want to go through that again.... and
we have to go somewhere in a couple of hours (he really
doesn't want to smell like skunk). And of course the trap is kind of a pain to open, especially when you're trying to stay out of the way. Anybody want to volunteer? Dh would be so
grateful! lol!
My daughter catches skunks on a regular basis at her horse lot. She catches them in a trap then thrws a blanket over it then puts the trap in pickup and takes it to the county. sets trap on ground, gets behind it and opens the door. Knock on wood, she hasn't gotten sprayed yet.
