I like the "place in trask" bit.

Place in card board box labeled Omaha Steaks and and leave on your favorite neighbors steps.

Common belief is that to keep a "critter" from returning to a nest/home they are sued to, they should be released at least 5 miles away. Espeically baby or young ones, they will go right back under your house where it was likely born and raised.

I like the idea of skinning it and making a cool skunk hat.

A friend of mine who grew up in texas said they knew someone who had a de-skunked skunk as a pet! WTF?

My mother had one 45 years ago. I don't remember it but I've seen pictures. She also had a raccoon for a pet.

If you don't want to have one end up in your Havaheart, don't leave it set after dark. I'd guess 75% of the time that's what you're going to catch.

Wait till dark, pick up by tail. Flag down a car, open rear door and toss in.
I was told that happened many years ago, the skunk tosser ended up buying a stinky car.

I wish! Might have to reset trap, can I bring the whole contraption on the Bucket to dispose of?

Well as many of you might have expected, it came back and this time he has failed the tryout for the steel cage diving team!

They actually make pretty good pets. I've known a few people who had one. Of course, without that scent gland, they're pretty much defenseless, so you have to make sure they don't get out loose.

Oh man, can you imagine walking into someone's house and seeing a skunk just walking around?

Back in the day there were two skunkers.
One worked for N. A. Nickerson over in Barnstable on 6A.
T he other worked for a different N.A.Nickerson in North Eastham..
They both trapped skunks for the fur.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!

Well skunk #2 has also failed to qualify for the steel cage diving team! Wondering how many more under the deck....

Actually, yes! Girl I was friends with in high school invited me over for the first time. Well I had to tinkle when I got there and as I am sitting there defenseless as a skunk wanders out of some hidden corner of the bathroom and brushes up against me like a flippin cat......after a minute I hollered to her from my "prison" and THEN she proceeds to fill me in and let me know her mother had a pet skunk and that it was deskunked......classic case of "that information would have been nice to know 5 minutes ago"!

long time ago i snuck outside to watch a skunk up close and personal
and so i went into ninja mode so as to not startle it (period) and sat down
on this cement bench outside the cottage. I sat there for 20 minutes very still
and extremely quiet. After awhile my Ass was starting to ache and i looked to the right to sneak away
and son of a bitch there's another friggan skunk 5 feet from me so now I'm stuck there between two of them not daring to move.

45 minutes later they finally were working together on an old garbage pail fliptop
where one would stand on the lid handle to open it while the other one grabbed
something out of the pail quick-like and i was able to hightail outta there without getting sprayed.

Couple years back I had one walk right through my legs without getting sprayed!

My brother goes camping aLOT and has this skunk skin he drapes over a remote controlled car, so he waits til dusk while unsuspecting people come walking by the campsites and drives it out at them to freak them out. I think he needs another hobby
