what is the best model to prevent getting sprayed?

I really like the sewer-pipe, green tubes but I defer to Law Dog. If he doesn't chime in here, try sending him a PM.

I never trapped skunks, but I know several guys that would buy these specifically for skunks.

Any good cage wrapped with a contractor trash bag.

I wrap and duct tape top bottom and sides leaving the back open.

thanks, I was looking at this one in 8 inch diameter

Any cage it’s all about the pole/shot to calm them down the one thing to remember is you need room to work the syringe so don’t crowd yourself and have openings to work the pole.

I just use the same ones for raccoon and groundhog trapping. I like being able to see what I am working with. Also keeps nosy people from getting sprayed if they are wondering whats in the trap. When they can see its a striped kitty, they keep their distance.

I use the 6 inch pipe they won't spray in it the bigger trap they can

I use my cage traps, just cover with an old blanket and they skunks never spray.
Transfer to a location to finish the job.
IMHO Too many eyes that see the final disposal , is bad for trapping. Weather its nuisance trapping or otherwise.
Just too many emotional people in the world today.
They just don't understand what real life is all about.

I use the one Kre showed in the picture above. I've carried one skunk over a block and one up out of a basement and never had them spray. Great trap.

Z-traps, are the best, imo

Tuff Trap is my go to nowadays. Minnesota trapline carries them as does Scheels, and even Amazon. Never failed me and only $70.00.

thanks all!!

8" ztrap. I've caught a lot of skunks in them. I've picked up the trap with a skunk in it from town, put it back of truck, and hauled them several miles out of town with no issues.

I just got one of those
er winter. Haven't used it yet. I do CO2 for stuff caught in live traps and it would be tricky monitoring the animal in one of those.

6" tube trap doesn't work for me. 8" probably a better choice. I cover (more or less permanently) my skunk cage traps with old truck inner tubes. Then just put an old towel over each end and pick up and go.
