Yes....Skunks in a live trap suck. I hold a tarp between us and slowly cover the trap with it. Then I set the trap in the truck and take em down to the river for a swim. I haven't had one spray yet.......yet.
Foot holds are another story. I shoot em and come back a couple days later to take em out of my trap and reset.
That part is never fun.
