Heard since that they will not spray if confined and best thing to do
is throw a tarp over them and haul them off.

Thanks, that's good to know.

I caught a skunk in a homemade trap. I was after groundhog and was
going to drop off on way to work. Went to work and called Fish and
Game Dept. and they said it was not a game animal and to call an
exterminator. Exterminator wanted $200 (this was several years ago and
would probably be double today). Wife put on rain gear and went out
and opened trap and ran.
Skunk stayed in trap for a while and ambled off and did not spray.

trunk of my car though
