I laid a tarp over a trap after catching a skunk. It left a smell on the tarp and when I was driving down the road, the tarp blew loose and no way was I going to fix it.
I found that you can slide your trap into a black trash bag. Close the drawstring around the entrance. It will look like a natural hole to them.
Easy to pick up and move and retie the drawstring to close it up. I moved the last one I trapped. The trash bag is handy if you are one of those who puts it by their exhaust pipe or sticks the end of their propane torch into it unlit for a gas chamber. Or like they used to do in the hospital, spray some starting fluid/ether in there to knock them out till you move them.
Oppossums are a bugger to get out of the trap if you move them, they just dig in their claws even if you hold it upside down. It takes a while to shake them out. Skunks will walk out quicker but the trick is trying open the hatch without it tripping again. I got another piece of wire run through the top so I can pull open the hatch, latch the hatch open with the wire, and run like heck till the skunk leaves.
Skunks, when trapped, will try to dig their way out the bottom and will leave a mess of the ground plus the bottom of your bag. But you can still pick up the trap as it can't see you and slip another bag over it without any spraying. Next time I'll probably use some ether as well.
