Kid south of me is a very good trapper and hard worker so he texted me and asks if I want a skunk in a cage but it’s 30 miles away so I kick it around a bit and decide I’ll go get it. Asked him want he needed for supplies he said bobcat bait so we made a deal for 2 frozen chickens he said perfect.

Tuned out to be a 12# one with good wide stripes but they have a slight beige tint in places that’s a shame but it’s still worth a lot.

How do you get the skunk out of the live trap without being perfumed? Or do you kill it in the trap and then let it 'simmer down' for a while.

I haven't done any essence removal from skunks that I have skinned. But I thought they only had two sacs, are there multiple pods in each sac?

I had 7 sets of pods total 6 that I thawed Ed out since I was tapping the ones from today. Just 2 per skunk.

$20 per ounce

Plus skull and fat. And perhaps if you know of a bait maker you can sell the meat or carcass too. I love catching skunks!!
