So I just trapped a skunk and am wondering if anyone has an ethical way to kill it so he won't spray? Would like to skin him for a home tanning experiment...thanks in advance!

Skunks are actually very friendly when confined to a small cage. Just open the door and grab it by the tail and pull it out and take it to your truck , release it on the passenger side , drive it to the nearest river , and release it. I don't think you'll have a problem.Cute little buggers...

If skunks are a big problem they make specialized traps that you can drown the skunk right in the trap. Makes dealing with the stinkers way easier.

Tips? Don't get sprayed in the face. I got sprayed in the face from about 2 feet. It'll change your whole outlook on life for a long time.:chuckle:

Any time you put out a baited set there is the possibility of catching a skunk. What are you going to do?
Better to think about that question now then wait until the problem is staring you in the face.

I've trapped 3 spotted ( civets) skunks this week and I've never dealt with them before until now
I went real slow and covered them up and 2 of the three were fine but one juvenile sprayed so much it was friggin horrible

In the end, no spray and all is good!

I target skunks because they cause problems. I only trap the problem skunks but that was still 6 or 7 this year. I for whatever reason am not all that bothered by the spritzing. So I make a pretty good skunk trapper :chuckle:
Glad you got it done without much fuss.

This method is best to phone a friend and use his truck so he can hold it to be safe and not harm the Skunk while driving :chuckle: :twocents:
