Been a licensed nuisance trapper for several years now. Catching lots of coon, beaver, and skunk. I am growing tired of covering cage traps with cloth and trying to syringe skunks in a cage is not my favorite thing to try and accomplish. I am looking to get a skunk trap and that is where you come in. There is lots of tube traps on the market and even some plastic box cage traps which look nice. I am looking to asphyxiate or drown them once trapped. If the tube traps work good how do you verify your catch before dispatching? Thanks for the help….

If targeting skunks, cover the cage BEFORE you set it. Get some cage covers at WCS for the 7x7x24 size cages. You can also get some for 12x12x30 cages.

Black contractor bags work too.

Break down and get the enclosed no spray traps for catching and transporting. As long as using no spray can look in the end of trap to verify catch, What works for me in dispatching is taking a dryer exhaust hose, one end over the exhaust pipe of your gas power automobile other end under either a tarp or contactor bag that is covering and has trap sealed under it. 15 minutes and expired skunk that allows extraction of essence if so inclined to save.
Have found gas powered vehicles work faster than diesel.
