lots of posts in the archives about skunks

mid-sized havahart trap baited with peanut butter, place trap on their path or in quiet spot near their opening, leave some room around the trap, do not use trap with spring loaded doors, gravity doors will open for you as trap is rolled upside down with long pole

after they are in, SLOWLY walk toward the trap with old blanket, GENTLY place blanket over the trap and then slide piece of cardboard under the trap, once they are covered up they usually take a nap, what you do with them afterwards is up to your consience

as you approach, watch them real close, they will stamp front feet to warn you that you are making them nervous, stop at that point and let them calm down, took 5 out from under a small shed and no spray, first one is the hardest, I moved them in back of pickup but neighbor chanced it sucessfully with station wagon

they are gentle like a housecat and just want to be left alone
