[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 4189016, member: 69"] I've caught a couple in my live trap including 1 inside my garage. Drowning them would be the easiest move but I didn't want to put them in my truck to transport them to water. I also didn't want to shoot them and possibly damage my trap so I just released them and shot them after they walked out. I agree that you walk towards the trap with a tarp or some type of cover. This way if they fire off at least there's something between you and them. Once you cover the trap they seem to calm down. Then you have to pick the trap up which can be tricky. The real trick (the way I do it) is to reach around and open the trap and hold it open long enough for the skunk to walk out. I've been successful so far. [/QUOTE]
