NcNE said it pretty good, I might add that it is best to find a hole in a fence that is highly traveled. Simply drape the loop over the hole in the fence using a small rebar stake and a small chunk of light wire to hold it. By sizing the loop you can often get them around the neck or just behind the front legs. They must be anchored good as they can put up a pretty big fuss. The live trap pictured on this post are many times ok, but the big old ones can spring them enough to get out. All you have to do is bait it with the Vapona fly bait and pop so it will get them any way. As a general rule they will be back the next night anyway. Sweet corn I forgot to mention is many times a good bait also. If you use a live trap it must be shelled off the cob as the corn can get bumped and end up under the trip part of the trap. Cat food or dog food with the old antifreeze mixed in will get them as well, but be carefull as some of the PETA --(people eating tastey animals) folks frown on that. When I use a live trap I always try to place it just behind a 2ft. high object so in case I catch a skunk, I can drop the poision solution into the top of the live trap using a 10ft eve spout conductor pipe from behind the 2 ft high object. A skunk can last two weeks in 90 degree heat without food or water. Dave NE IA
