While sitting outside last night, before the moon was up, I
started hearing noises and turned on the flashlight to find
the cutest group of four little skunks I've ever seen. You
know they have virtually no fear of humans until you get
excited and stand up cursing. I got out the "Have a Heart"
trap, put some canned dog food inside and half hoped to
catch them and half hoped I didn't. The trap was empty
this morning.

I'll try again tonight.

Couple of years ago I trapped a momma skunk and she had 4 kids that
would not leave and were jumping all around and over the trap. Managed
to get it open and release her without getting sprayed. I regret not
videotaping because it was one of the neatest things I had ever seen.
They say a skunk will not spray when in a trap but I'll be damned if I'd
put it in my car to relocate to a remote area. I had thought it was
raccoons getting at my garbage but ended up solving problem with a
locking can lid. Skunks left the area.
