The only way I know of skunk proofing a set,is to leave it at home.
 There is also no fool proof way of letting a skunk loose.You always run a risk of a skunks wrath.
 There is a pretty fair market on skunk pelts ,why not take advantage of it.

They are easy to release without them spraying. All you have to do is shoot them. After that they won't spray when you walk up and you can take them out.

As far as skunk proofing sets all I could say is make sure you have some tension on your pan. Our traps are all set to fire at about 2 pounds. This will let most skunks dance the light fantastic all over your trap with it fireing. We don't have fox around here though so I have no idea how light footed they are.
