HI Jan

question about the skunks ??? when they get in the trap, do they
spray ???? or do they wait for you to pick up the trap and put it in
you truck ???

I have been catching coons here in OKC for the past several years,
and the animal control people will come by and pick them up.
fortunately no skunks so far, but it would interesting to know how
they behave once trapped.

Not sure about the effectiveness of catch and release. Look at

They've got that right about the skunks moving in. We had a raccoon 2 years
ago. It hit my place, trashed it, but didn't catch anything (no reward) I
installed a scarecrow sprinkler and it never bothered me again (trained).
Last summer though I guess my neighbors down the street started setting a
have-a-heart trap for skunks... even though I told them skunks were not
fish eaters. They caught the raccoon, duh, hauled him away and then the
skunks moved in. Every dog around us got hit last summer. They continued to
set the trap and hauled away 7 skunks by this spring. I guess they must
have got them all because it been the best smelling spring/summer we've had
in a long time. ~ jan
