The skunk will put out maybe 1 drop of scent. Just let it bleed to death. Scoop up the scent spot and put it down the dirt hole or what ever and reset the trap. Set and trap both stink anyway so do not change the trap. Move over 10 or 15 foot and make another set and then put in a pissing post. To make a skunk call station AND get your trap back.. get the wind in your favor and ease up on the skunk and drop a 22 right between the ears. YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS... drop the gun, get the skunk out of the trap and kick the skunk like a foot ball to get it away from the set
.THE SKUNK WILL DROP EVERY DROP OF STINK IN IT
5 SECONDS..... YOU CAN COUNT IT. Remake the set and put in 2 other sets, one being a scent post and get ready to skin fur . Ray aka UNCLE BEAVER

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............
