You need to catch a raccoon first. I borrowed the neighbor's live trap to catch the skunks. However, it was not meant to be; until today. I caught my first skunk last night.
1. Have a live trap.
2. Bait with Tuna fish or other enticing food.
3. Set trap by their den.
4. Wait until nightfall; they see the trap during the day and want no part of it. Nightfall is perfect.
5. Morning. Skunk is in the "house"
6. Throw a blanket over it. Carefully pick up the cage and place it in your trunk.
7. Drive to a remote location. Open cage, leave blanket on the animal end and walk away. When the skunk realizes you have stepped away, it will leave on its own accord.
Yeah!!! One less skunk. One more to go. The neighbor's dog got the 3rd one (she got sprayed, I didn't) Woohoo!
