Brian Mongeau trapper Joined: Feb 2007 Killingly, CT	Would I be right that all 4 were males? Move the baited cages and gang set around the burrow into crawlspace. I suspect a female under the house that hasn't come out yet, if the TN skunk rut is the same as New England. I haven't had any skunk calls yet, but expect them any day now. And food bait isn't needed if positioned right, the real bait is waiting for the male suitors. Could take a week or two for her to come out.

The rut is normally mid February, but it was unseasonably warm. Getting cold again.
