Ok, Thanks for input on a smelly subject, my dog is not the sharpest tool in the shed has got it in the face 4 times, my friends dog got a direct one in the mouth.I tried the traps did not work, maybe i have the Einstien of skunks or its just smarter than me but I found its egress point and will donate an arrow to end the stench.What do you do to get close to the trap w/ a live skunk in it anyway?

My dogs killed a skunk the other night. Drug it up to my garage. The smell filled my house. My wife asks, "do you think tomato juice would get rid of the smell on the dogs". I said, "I think it'd be easier for me to get rid of the dogs, then use the tomato juice to finish off that Vodka bottle!".      :p

Kurt; if we're talking cage trap, you may want to wrap some cardboard and tape around it to make it somewhat solid.  Leave enough space to see what you caught easily, and allow the trap parts to move freely.  In any event, you can generally approach a skunk slowly and watch his body language.  If he gets his tail up or starts stomping, stop and wait for him to calm down.  I don't recommend trying an arrow at point blank, either.

yep. if in a cage trap just walk up easy and cover with a towel or blanket. Once covered you can pick em up and do whatever. Hual em out to the hills and open the cage and prop open and walk away taking the cover with you as you go. He'll look around abit then waddel off. I do it often and have never been sprayed or sprayed at....nock on wood

In a land where Sage Hen mortality is always an issue, one less egg sucker is a good thing.
