I drilled two 1 1/2" holes (with a hole saw) in the back plate of my PVC trap. It is still a pain to stick a skunk in there and they sometimes die all wrapped around trigger/ bait holder. I now use it for coon only. The 8X8 Williams trap is much easier to work with. I zip tie 1/4" plywood to the top and sides so they feel secure and protected. the side pieces only get zip tied at the top so I can lift the cover easily to access the skunk for the shot if necessary and it doesn't interfere with the trigger. I just got a safeguard the other day, it isn't a rugged as the Williams trap. I do wrap the bottom and sides my Williams traps with 1/2" hardware cloth to prevent digging.
Support our troops and their sacrifices. WIN THE WAR!

You just about answered all my questions. Thanks everyone for the help.
