Nuisance Trapping.

Ever been bitten by one?

Those bandits are like that blonde at the end of the bar. Looks sweet enough, but you are going to pay dearly when she turns on you...

Nope. I stay outside the catch circle. 😅 I had to release a fox from a snare once and man let me tell you that thing was on speed.

We have a skunk problem in my suburban neighborhood if any body is interested in trapping them.o_O
They make nice hats! Since COVID they smell different, not better, well maybe a little better, but certainly different!

When we had it our daughter sent us a care package, which included Vicks Vaporub. I opened it and could smell the petroleum jelly perfectly! But not a hint of the rest of it...
 
Skunk tails, especially the really white ones, are up in price. Apparently, Jewish culture values them for making hats (according to my BIL). Could be a lucrative little endeavor.
 
Nope they’ll spray everywhere….. Try to find a good position to hit them just after of the shoulders. Hit that spine and they won’t spray….

I normally aim for right behind the ear .... no spray yet.
What both of those shots are doing is taking out the spinal cord. ... that's the key, no electrical impulse = no spray

Whereas a frontal brain shot still allows for spinal cord impulse
