lots of posts in the archives on this subject, skunks are a lot of fun unless its your skunk

I was trapping squirrels and accidently live trapped a skunk (got 5 more afterwards but thats a different story)

skunks are pretty reasonable unless you rile them, move REAL slow, watch for stomping front feet or a raised tail, stop and let him relax if you see either action, I moved all of mine without incident

around dusk, I would VERY slowly cover the trash can with an old thick blanket, let him settle down for a while and get used to that, once the blanket is in place the smell will be contained

SLOWLY carry the can outside and place downwind away from the house, let the can sit for a while so the critter can relax

if you don"t want to keep him as a pet, I recommend 2 oz of #6 applied with Remington 870 or your own preference
