The one on the left was still alive and sprayed my boot. You would think taking my boots off outside would appease....but nope. I find myself banned from my abode. For now.

Maybe she'll throw some hydrogen peroxide and baking soda out the window for me.

Make sure she remembers the Dawn dish soap too!

Been there , brother! The whole congregation was mad at me.

Wham.........as it hits him in the head......Yup she remembered....

Thank goodness we don’t have them up here!!

I thought maybe you misspelled Columbia.

I always just shot them in the trap and set a new set nearby taking them out of the trap a couple days later.

We don't have Civets here but a properly handled Skunk pelt is beautiful. I used to carry the ingredients with me to wash them right away and kill the smell. They are easy to skin and flesh and lately have been bringing more than Coyotes.

Yep I'm talking about skunks here.We don't have civets here as well.

You don't want to shoot civets. They're too valuable to take a chance on damaging them.
I sold 7 last night for $500.

That's why they call M pews.

Ha ha!!!

Having leather boots is a %^*#}>£¥ when dealing with stinkers. Wearing a leather belt while putting up skunks is almost as bad as the stink stays thru multiple washings with peroxide, baking soda and Dawn. My wife couldn’t smell it. But I could. ‘Took 2 weeks for the smell to go away—-to my satisfaction.

Mine kick me out when I remove my shoes to enter the Casa also……
Me casa ,,, nooo ,,,she casa…..

Dang illegal aliens anyways.....

Teacher, canvas is just as bad ...my Carhart trapping jacket seems to hold those smells a long time. The good thing is you can use that jacket to your advantage when predator calling....lol.

.....wow very nice

I skin them all, that is what a trapper does. I wash them in "the solution" and skin them wet, easy to find the glands, extract, remove, then finish skinning. Not a bad job at all, but I don't mind the smell, keeps the women away from me.

Wow

Cute little booger. We don’t have those here and THANK GOD I encounter very few skunks. Even walking around the trap ruins boots and gloves if you touch the dang thing.

love honor OBEY.....

Tell that woman its her job to skin polecats. Won't be long she will be as immune to that wonderful keeps nontrapping riff raff away odor as you are. If she balks tell her your skinning them on the dining room table so you can take your time and do it right.

Carl you need to carry a jab pole and get some practice in using it; I agree never ever shoot a civet or striped skunk. You damage the pelt and loose essence in that process.

When I was more of an avid pheasant hunter I used to encounter them more frequently. We found that a bottle of Head and Sholders shampoo worked very well on our dogs that got sprayed.

The hide, the essence, the pods, the fat...all good stuff

You will save money on Valentines gifts !

Yup!

I actually was just in the process of stepping on the tail so that I could heart pinch him but he whipped up that tail at the last second and beat me to the punch. Probably the jab would be easier for both of us.

Were those frozen whole Bruce? Way to go man!

Nah, civets are native here.

Nope, most all mine get sold salted.

After my dog got sprayed by a skunk and I tried everything to get the smell off I tried Nature's Miracle skunk remover and hands down the best thing to use just spray and wipe off.

I have never figured out how you can make a jab pole work on civets. It seems like their rear end is always pointed at you.
They have an uncanny ability to survive the strongest conibear sometimes. I find a chest catch and a run pole up in the air are the surest methods to insure they are past the great divide when you show up.

A forked stick to hold the tail down , the jab and things are all better on the home front. Brought my wife along to take the picture.



And another 120 that the freezing weather put out of commission yesterday connected last night as well. Craziest looking civet I've ever seen!

X2! I keep a spray bottle in my truck just incase.
