Skunk help!
« on: June 04, 2008, 03:07:11 PM »
I have a skunk living in my neighborhood and he has to go. He walks around during broad daylight. My neighbor say's she see's it quite often during the day. I didn't really care but today my wife said it was on our patio next to the back door. I need a bait that will lure it and not any dogs or cats in the neighborhood. Any ideas?  I want to use a cubby and 120 Belisle.

I'm sure theres a goo lure out there for skunk but I dont know what it would be.

When you catch it send it in to the state and see if it has rabies or something. Maybe some pets or people have been affected.

If you were using a box trap where non target animals were not harmed if caught you could release them if so desired, my friend uses little cans of tuna and single serving cans of cat food in his "relocation" program of free roaming cats , and has caught a number of skunks this way.
I have caught non targeted skunks on peanut butter and bird seed , but not as often as he.
