Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Skunks?

Live trap with marshmallows is the best. When caught I just through a big towel over it and haul them away,either shoot them or just let them go,usually near a swamp where they'll have food and stay. Ya can also drop them off near a A-hole's house and let them have fun.

Had the same problem years ago in MO, stinkers always getting under the house.

Game warden told me to take a sock, put mothballs in it, soak it with ammonia, throw it under house.

Skunks will leave.

House smells like mothballs, better than the d*** skunks.

It worked.

This is the skunk mating season, and they're all over the roads.

Get rid of the grubs in your yard and the stinkers will leave.

Pick em up by the back of the neck and they can't spray. Just like this

I thought this was gonna be a thread about democrats.

Horse shît and skunks

It’s hellish out there

I shot 4 skunks last year and every one of them sprayed. Lung shots and head shots, 17 hmr with 20 grain game points.

Haven't seen one lately but might try a .308.

shotguns

I don't bother them unless they become a problem.. because as long as they are around they will dig up yellowjackets nests and eat them . I prefer skunks to yellowjackets..

We killed 15 one day quail hunting up by Cisco Texas. We all smelled, my Bud, me, and the dogs.

Wait until you know they aren't under the house, then block-off all the ways you know they've been using to getting in. What ever you wind up doing though, it would probably be best to make sure you do it before they have litters still nursing under the house.

No that doesn't happen until mid March.

This trap works really well. Never had one spray inside this trap.

Old beekeeper trick. Take a raw egg and punch a hole in one end if it. Take three aspirin, powder them up, and mix them into the egg. Make sure it's well blended. Dig a hole the size of the egg and place the egg in it with just the open end showing.

The aspirin acts as an anticoagulant. Skunk wanders off and then falls asleep forever.

The amount of aspirin is enough to kill the skunk, but not enough to bother a dog. Cat's will usually leave it alone.

Live trap baited with sardines. After caught put to sleep with exhaust of truck. My trap is made of sheet metal a couple doors you can slide open and shut.

And if they die under your house?

I made a live trap out of a 33 gal barrel. When caught them just shot them through the holes I put in the front of barrel. Did not have one of them spray.

The Pro’s use a jab stick filled with acetone—hit them in the lungs—no smell
