Caught a skunk in my trap, first catch . What do I do now to keep from getting sprayed?

Run!

Don't have any advice , bad mama jama !

I’m not sure. But I think you can hold a blanket up as a shield and slowly ease in and finally cover the trap with said blanket. After that, I don’t know how you getting it out lol

I dunno. When we were kids my brother and his best friend tried to skin a skunk that had not sprayed. They did good until my brother dropped the skunk when his buddy was making the last cut.

I've heard the blanket trick too, slowly put a blanket over the cage and the skunk won't spray in the dark cause it doesn't know where to spray.

Whatever you do.....please video it and share with us

I have read from folks to not head shoot them, it causes automatic spray, heart/lung shot

Pick him up by his tail, cant spray without their back feet on the ground.

I would pay owlcreek to pick it up by the tail and remove it sense he knows what he is doing and won't get sprayed.

This and don't shoot it at all unless you want to clean up the smell. And yes video it. When releasing it, hold the door up enough to prop it open with a stick.

I've shot them in the head and they just dropped in their tracks but as their muscles relaxed, watch out as that smell starts oozing out.

I have done this before, when I was younger and faster and have never been sprayed.
