Some days are better than others

$$$$$ on those skunks, Way to go!

Maurob, you get em for sure. Nice hauls.
What kind of sets do you use when targeting skunks?

I use live traps around buildings and dog proofs when I can get a away from catty areas. Seems to work fine.

That some good looking stinkers every one. Just makes my nose burn looking at them.

Yesterday I gave a little trapping instruction to 20 or so kids and maybe a dozen ish adults. We went over all types of sets and dispatch methods as I had a live one in a box trap and we held the class at a small pond area. I skinned a skunk, removed the glands and extracted essence. Answered many questions and alleviated many apprehensions about handling and processing skunks. I had a box of gloves and a few knives set out and let it be known that the kids could explore the anatomy of the carcass if they had an adult keep an eye on them - that was a huge hit - brought out a box of ziplocs and kids were taking feet and assorted organs home.
Ended up handing out DPs and stakes that I had in my truck, alot of excited future trappers because the traps were "tricked out" straight off my line. I gotta order some replacements before I set out again next week.
I've given instruction before but this was the most engaged/hands on I have done and it was a huge hit with the audience.

Kudos for you doing the trapping instruction and hands on carcass.
That's sure is one cool looking possum

Here's a stinker I picked up road kill this morning on the way to get the paper

That is some incredible stinker trapping there Maurob. Great looking ones too!

Kudos to you for getting youngsters involved.

Kudos to Ya!

We need a lot more of this with all species if we want to keep our heritage alive!

Great example of what needs to be done. Thank you for sharing this. I hope it will encourage others to look for opportunities to do similar.
