If you shoot'em they're going to spray.

- My uncle used to have ducks and geese and skunk problems.

He'd live trap skunks in a have-a-heart, but he'd put a rope on it and dig a hole behind the trap with a hose at the edge of it. when he got a skunk he'd fill the hole, and slowly drag the trap into the hole. they never sprayed - that was surprise to me but I've heard this method multiple times.

thanks,
Mike
