This fella was on the patio last night eating cat food. I'm not sure the best way to get this one. I don't have a clear shot from the back door.
I do have a live trap and have been told if you approach the trap behind a blanket, they won't spray. I don't want to risk that.
I cover the trap with a blanket before the skunk is trapped. I've picked up the trap and carried it away from the house to shoot the skunk. Additionally, I was told that a head shot would prevent them spraying and can testify that that is not true.
