[QUOTE="TN Larry, post: 5551983, member: 2019"] So an update..................my initial plan was to shoot the skunk and let it lay for a day or two before taking it from the trap. I read in another thread that shooting through the lungs would result in no spray. So I grabbed the 22 rifle and headed over there. A quick 30 yard shot behind the shoulder made short work of it. I couldn't smell that it sprayed so decided to go ahead and get it out of there. I did have gloves on and removed it from the trap and had my son help me reset the trap. I carried him off with gloves but did touch my cell phone with the gloves. I could smell him pretty strong when I picked him up so still not sure if he sprayed or not. Well, we get home and could still smell it. Crap...........we finally figured out that my phone case and son's hands smelt like a skunk and then it came to me. We got that off of the "stinking" trap when we reset it. LOL...........so lesson learned in that department but hope to not catch a skunk for a while. [/QUOTE]
