I catch about 40 every summer. Wrap the trap in a tarp, BEFORE you set the trap. Once caught, quietly pick the trap up and carry it out of the barn, put it in your truck and drive to a pond. When you put the trap in the water lower it slowly into the water at first, you don't want to startle him and then just submerg him. No spraying no mess. I have done this to about 100+ skunks and only had problems 3 times, once the homeowners dog had the skunk already riled up when I got there and the other two times, while they were drowning a little oil slick appeared on the water and there was some smell but not too much. Leave them for a few minutes, I had one back alive and looking all sheepish at me when I got back home, when I didn't leave him under water long enough. Then use the hemostats clamps on his vents when you get ready to skin him and make sure you don't poke a sac while skinning him and you'll have a very nice clean pelt.
