Have you removed from one spot. Just hung up with customer telling me i have caught 2 more for total of 8 from under his workshop. Beat my old record of 7. This time of year they have been all adults. The 7 were mom and 6 babies. I guess got to them in time just before they disperse for mating season. Just odd for my area so many would hole up together. Has anyone ran into a scenario likes this before? Sarge

I did a condo complex where there was a cat feeder with about 20lbs of cat food dumped on an area of the parking lot. Cleaned up all the food , set 6 cage traps at twilight using the cat food as bait. Caught 6 skunks just after dark. Removed them and set 6 more caught them by morning. Caught 18 more over the next 3 nights. Got paid per skunk. Had free bait ( cat food) Cat feeders make ya some money....

How do you put them to sleep? Discussions on dispatch are by PM's only.

12 was not uncommon some years out of the same cage trap a few places produce up to 30 skunks the first time you work it. I get calls from one guy that gets 15-18 a summer at his place next to a GFP plot of land. Up to 13 at one place now had another one today so there might be more there.

Looks like 8 is low. The owner is happy. He will be happy once he can use his shop. He may not be happy with the bill. Sarge
