EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

I've heard that if you put a blanket over the trap the skunk won't spray, but nobody's ever said how to get close enough to throw the blanket. I wouldn't trust it. Only time I've ever trapped a skunk I got about 40' away & shot it.

Perfect!

Then get the Banty's neighbor kids to get it out of the trap!

Likely still sprayed right?

I would not want to get a skunk out of a trap!

I got a skunk out, and it went fine.

Nope! Shot it in the head. Skunks have a smell anyway, but not like when they spray.

I'd be afraid of them biting me, and they carry rabies, I believe.

that sounds like the best way to get them out!

Be careful though. Here in California a large number of skunks carry rabies.

You're more woman than I am man, then. Next time I trap one I'll come get you and save the price of a bullet.

If I ever don't have my ever-so-helpful neighbour kids about, I'd probably go up very gently, settle a blanket over it, and drop the whole kit and caboodle into a garbage can filled with water. They're pretty nice fellas if you don't tease them too much. Ain't no way I'm copying said neighbour kids; they let the thing out and then shoot it! Yes, they did miss once. Yes, the whole yard smelled.

I was getting ready to mention that you got one out.
