Same here. My favorite stick is a section of fiberglass tent rods. I think it has 6 sections. If he’s nice I might only connect 3 of them. If I need some distance I use all of them. When I’m done I just take it apart. The bango string keeps them together and compact. Fits through small cages easy.

I like that idea! Had thought about the screw type fiberglass chimney rods but the tent rods would work slick. The only hurtle would be to find a set w/o buying the whole tent....

I use a pole with a rod in the center so I can push the plunger without pushing so hard against the skunk. Mick's (ks skunkman) design. I wanted long one but he said you cant make one long enough they can't spray you so what's the point.

Mostly, have to trim the syringes when I go to replace em. On my Comstock traps I have to cut ports in the trap as they're 1x.5 wire.

Going to try a high power air rifle this season and see how it works-in the chest should work fine I am thinking

If you know how to use it a totally saturated solution of magnesium sulfate will work quickly. Cheap & easily available.

1 Qt Hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking Soda
1 good squirt dish soap

Mix well
Don't try to save leftovers, the gas buildup will rupture the container.

Results are instant and spectacular!

There are a number of good products out there that work just as good but no shelf life. I keep several bottles around in my vehicles and shop just in case. Much easier to use.
