We are having a problem with coons AND a skunk. The coons who are both young, and pretty small, got into our barn through a hole a skunk dug at the back of the barn. We chased the coons out, blocked the hole with chicken wire and a cement block, and set a trap for the coons. Thing is, we only have one trap, I thought we had more, but can't find the other. So, we set it, but I'm afraid we're gonna trap the skunk and not the coons. I've read that you can slowly approach the trap and cover with a tarp or blanket, and then safely move and release the skunk, but does this work? Anyone have any words of wisdom for me?
