The Fur Market can change in a heartbeat and no one would have guessed Skunks would take off the way they did.

What's the best way to deal with them in a cage trap?  I usually let them go, but they just come back and become a pain in the rear.

Any good ideas to kill them without stinking up the place?

@CoryTDF has a good story about drowning one.  (make sure the cage fits in the barrel  :chuckle: )
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I had a fellow call to tell me he was trapping skunks and was even kind enough to tell me what I was going to pay him for each hide!

I like the sound of that business model.
