Hi David! Ken here from Nova Scotia. Few years back my younger sister said she found hole dug up on her lawn. I told her she had a skunk. Guess she didn’t believe her wise older brother TIL her 3 beloved labs came in her trailer smelling very skunky. Lol.

Tomato juice gets off the smell. She probably had to bathe her poor little labs in it.

Skunks actually make great pets. When the sent gland is removed and they are raised from babies. God bless

Skunk trapping is not a stinky job I have been trapping Skunk over 25 years and never had a one release on me or in my truck or in the traps. I have had to help a lot of people that have trapped a Skunk in a have a heart trap and removed them for them and they let me keep the trap and payed me for the service think like a animal that you are trying to trap and you will have more success my trap is self contained so transportation is not a problem.

Got my 4th Armadillo this year this morning. A very large female. They love to go underneath a certain place in my house. I use two large boards to guide them into the trap. No bait needed. My Nylon66 solves the problem. I think the Turkey Buzzards should send me a Valentine card this year. 😂

Ditto on the cats! Neighbors have finally learned after 20 years!

David, sometimes, actually, a lot of times, your job stinks! If it isn't the hawgs in the mud with their poo smell, its the dang skunks and whatever that smell is they have. I applaud your efforts in removing those pests. Way to go David. I think those folks in the building should look into gettting a couple bags of that quick concrete and plug up them dang holes. Keep up the good work.

I caught 19 out from under a garage a couple years ago and used mackerel and marshmallows for my bait and lure. I used 6x6 cages and a black 30 gallon trash bags, cut open, for a shield. Only had one of the 19 spray. Good job. I feel for you 🤢🤑

YAWT YAWT MAN, Skunks love grubs ,so they dig a lot ! Get rid of the grubs. You might be surprised !

Here is a couple of tips on trapping skunks...when walking up on a live trapped skunk, use a large OLD towel or sheet held up in front of you to cover your profile, the skunk won't identify you as a threat and will (hopefully)stay calm. Drape the entire cage with the sheet or large towel, let it settle down a little then you can transport it wherever you want. In case you do get sprayed or your dog does or whatever...here is a scientific formula to neutralize the odor (....forget the tomato juice...) use a pint of hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup of baking SODA, and a squirt of dish soap, Dawn is the best. Mix into a solution then immediately wash or rub the affected areas, then rinse clean, (discard the rest, it's effectiveness won't last long.) If you are using this on an animal, keep the solution out of its eyes.

@@sharonclaassen8382 Why would think that that would be rude? You just didn't understand what I meant. You missed the word 'large'. Being a skunk trapper for quite a while, the size of the towel or sheet matters. You must cover up your entire profile when approaching the trap, not just a little. Then when laying the fabric over the trap it must cover all sides of the trap so the skunk can't look out. Being cautious when trapping skunks is a must. At least for me it is...

Man I hope they are paying you well for this work! 😀 God bless all here.

David, you're out of your mind with that skunk. Lol! God bless, brother. Be safe!

This dude has an amazing attitude, real upbeat guy!

That old cooking grease will help get rid of worms in dogs. It's good to put some in the dogs food a few times a year and the dogs really love the flavor.

That is a stinkie job but somebody got to do it. Thanks David!

The word of the day is STINKER ! Always watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸

My mom had 5 skunks under her business several years ago. It made for a long work day with the smells. Lol Animal control said use an egg to bait the traps. That didn't work so I went to Dollar General and bought sardines. I'd partially open the can of oily stinky sardines and put it in the back of the trap. We got a skunk a day. One morning we had 2 in a trap. Animal control would come out with their long pole with the syringe on the end and put them out of my misery. Lol.

An 8 or 10 inch PVC pipe with a cap on one end and vertical drop gate on the other works well with minimal chance of spray. Use a mouse trap on top with a wire pan inside to trip the mouse trap which pulls the trigger that holds the drop gate up.

Great ending, can’t wait Mr Yawt Yawt

I’ve never seen a skunk in the wild and I don’t know their smell when they spray, but this video helps me understand them better.

Some yrs ago myself I was live trapping skunks.Its a real 'trip'.. There's an arisol citrus spray that will take care of skunk odor.. Obviously, care in handling& avoid the spraying is best.

I’ve had a skunk live under my shed since 1996 All I do is make noise if I go out at night and she doesn’t spray. If someone surprises her, she will spray but not often

Close encounters with the big FUNKSTERS Gives me a headache-I got a headache just watching💥

Oh man that's a stinky job! We had one under our porch, used moth balls he didn't like the smell so moved on. But he left his stink sprayed first before packing up!😀😀👍🙏

I have a big hay barn lots of mice I love my bob tail cats but I also hate skunks so I am borderline on them great job as always stay safe

You should put an old towel over teach trap to be safe. After they spray you should soak them in tomato 🍅 juice to get rid of the skunk smell after they spray!

Nice form stepping in to those pitches

It’s not my place to advise you but if I have experience that would make your job easier I would like to share my trapping experience with you so this is how I did my skunk trapping, if you zip tie black trash bags over your trap, the skunk won’t spray when you collect the trap.. also I would stop at Kentucky fried chicken ( not just because I was hungry but I would take fishing line and tie up the chicken bones to the release of the trap door, then when the animal pulls on the bones it catches them.

David, you are a good one to find digging animals to trap. If they be pigs or skunks. Do the beavers dig? Love you videos and God Bless You.

Have an honest question. New to trapped love these videos very enlightening. But as a trapper are there animals by law other than hogs that have to be disposed of or is it possible to relocate certain animals to other areas?

if you do get sprayed before an event just refer to it as hillbilly cologne lol i got sprayed 2 weeks ago trying to use a skunk sleeper on one and it played me to the wind and all i could do was laugh lol great job keep it up

Good Lord, David. Invest in some bath sheets from Wally World or some cheap tarps from Harbor Freight or Tractor Supply to cover the traps when you catch something that sprays. It will shield you from it. And if you have to throw them away it is not a big financial hit. Also, if you get sprayed have you about 10 or 12 Very Large cans of tomato juice and take a shallow bath in the juice. It works better than almost anything to get rid of the smell. I shouldn't have to tell a country boy this.
