160/220 are very effective. Check and see what the biggest bodygrip trap you can use on land is in your state. But all that has already been said.

Two animals that can come in very different sizes! A 160 can grab a big coon right behind the ears, and it might suitcase a medium skunk. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

@ ~ADC~ - No missed skunks I'm sure. I've set 220's hundreds of times, what goes in 'em stays in 'em. But skunks in a 220 are suit-cased, so how about the essence? Are you missing that? Is it discharged all over the set? What would you put the ratio of skunks that sprayed vs skunks that left you with no scent + 2 full glands of untapped essence? 7 sprays to 3 non-sprays? More? Less? Not trying to be argumentative I'm just curious. I never kept exact track but I'd guess 8 of 10 do not spray. Also with the triggers adjusted correctly they aren't all suitcased. I don't target skunks, just hard to avoid them in trail sets and bucket sets.

And If you run your trigger wires off to one side you might miss a few skunks but then you going to have a bunch of hip caught coon when using 220s.
