So this SKUNK

So this SKUNK is tearing up my yard, looking for grubs. I have sprayed for the grubs 3 times so far this fall. Still he persists! My brother has a live trap, used for racoons, says I can use it. Just tie a long rope, 30ft or more, and when I catch him, drag it to the field in back and do it in. So far so good, I think. So the question is “JUST WHAT DO I BAIT THE TRAP WITH”. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Gummy bears?

Grubs.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Yep, that’ll do it.
Once you get it in the trap throw a tarp over the trap. That will usually keep it from spraying. If you have water nearby lower the trap into the water for a few minutes to kill the skunk without it spraying.

The cookies in Dean’s freezer! Much better than marshmallows!

Sounds like the odds are in YOUR favor!

Any resposible person would video tape this event

“Just in case” you know

I assure you I have NOT been in your yard!
The grubs sound OK,great trout bait.

It’s only one of the sexes that can spray (I don’t remember which).After you determine which sex you have captured please let us know which is which
