Trapping a critter...

[vvvvvvv]

That's just the nature of skunk love... we really don't have the right to be judgemental.

I guess we should proceed to make the skunks jealous then.

Maybe they'll move.

Back you vehicle up to a point where you can hook a hose up to the tailpipe, stick the hose under the house and fire up the vehicle, have only one exit and sit there with a chair and shotgun preferably with more than one shot, pop a cold one and wait. One of to things will happen it will either get gased out and die or flee. Just an idea and I know gas is getting expensive but anyway. Later,

Is the skirting tight enough for this to work?
I'd try anything.
You don't want them raising down there.

Nope.

 

[vvvvvvv]

One consideration I've had: removing the skirting at one end and waiting for "the shot". I just don't want to do body recovery.

Just get a scoop shovel. No problem at all.
If you take the brain out the critter will smell like roses inyhoo.

 

[vvvvvvv]

Dumb question: might it be two male skunks competing, or do skunks normally spray each other?

As I told oklahomabassin when he was here, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff.

 

[ignerntbend]

Sounds plausible. Just put them all to the sword.

Seriously, if you shoot two you could have all there is.
If you just shoot one the other(s) may well leave.
Staaart shootin.

 

[vvvvvvv]

Just got one... a small one...

What's the best disposal method?

 

[ignerntbend]

If it uzz me, I'd thow his stank ath away.

There are laws about the disposition of large mammals, but I don't know about skunks.
If your place is big enough to get him away from the house, buzzards will take him before sun down.
(they work that hard)
If you want to, you could wrap him in a garbage bag and put him in the dumpster behind the seven eleven.
Just go assassinate his girfrin now you heartless bastard.
