Havahart Trapped Skunk
Any good suggestions on how to release without getting sprayed?

Put a blanket over it Phil. You can still grab the handle and open the door, put in woods and run..........

I guess if you don't want to know what is living under your deck, you shouldn't set traps! Let a baby possum go yesterday and today baby skunk.
Used my harpoon pole to get the trap out from under flowers, placed a large towel over trap, & moved trap to release point way back in property. Next step is the fun one: open & prop door then RUN!

Ohh man, thats one of my fears!!! I have a ground hog problem and have been trying to trap them. I put a trail cam out just to see whats going on........sure enough a skunk wondering around near the trap..... The blanket thing seems to be the right idea.

While leaving towel in place, just reached over and opened door. Tried to use an S-hook to hold open as seen in a video but no go. Found a piece of cinder block that was about the right height, reopened door and placed block to hold door open. Moved WAY back and the the little sucker walked right out, no spraying. WHEW

I have an old cooler that fits the trap perfectly and do hold auditions for the Olympic Steel Cage Diving team every so often. So far nothing has passed the qualifying test.

Sheet or blanket over the trap. Works the same way covering the eyes on a fish to keep it calm. Use marshmallows for skunk bait. I have never done a live release... Always gave the old float test first..... Make sure you have enough water depth. My brother didn't.... Glad I missed that one. Turned into a real chitshow.

Buzz I have trapped many of them. Take a large blue tarp with a hole in the center. Use a paint pole extention, 12'er and pick up the trap and drop it in a barrell filled with watet. It might spray, might not. Smell will go away in a few days if it does spray. Skunk will perish quietly. Take dead skunk out of water and into plastic bag, then place in trash.

skunks typically cannot spray unless they are able to raise their tail up high

true tight quarters inside the trap, it is once it walked out that I had a worry. Turns out piece of cake to release a young one and hoping I never get an adult. |
