Re: WHAT TO DO NOW
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

Re: WHAT TO DO NOW
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.

Re: WHAT TO DO NOW
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.

I have read from folks to not head shoot them, it causes automatic spray, heart/lung shot
Re: WHAT TO DO NOW
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.

Re: WHAT TO DO NOW
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.Smokyrider wrote: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.

Re: WHAT TO DO NOW
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.mike243 wrote:I have read from folks to not head shoot them, it causes automatic spray, heart/lung shot
Re: WHAT TO DO NOW
I have done this before, when I was younger and faster and have never been sprayed.caretaker wrote: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.
