How to avoid skunks in land sets?

Is there a way to avoid catching skunks in sets intended for fox or coyote?

First, you gotta catch a bunch of skunks lol

Embrace the essence of the essence!!!!

Sorta-
Keep sets 12'-15'-20' from brush line

Move.

Set back away from fence lines. And dead piles stay back 30- yards.

I have tried pan tension, lure instead of bait, even location and still can’t keep them out when they are in the area.

Good luck and let us know if you figure it out!

At this point I'd rather see a skunk in my trap than a coyote.

Good luck with that.

Skunks are valuable, as much or more than a Georgia coyote

Move to Alaska.

Cages at the woodline, steel out in the field

Skunks are my people!

I'm really enjoying catching those little stink monsters

Blind set.

Skunk is worth more than a lot of other fur, now.

I love catching skunks.

I don’t mind skunks in my sets. First, they pay for some gas between the essence and fur, and second some of my most productive canine sets ever have been remakes after a skunk catch. Something about it just makes it a canine magnet.

I don’t mind them either. Manly because my sniffer doesn’t work very well. Loud bait is a big factor on how many non target animals you catch. IMO

Oh-DE-Pew my favorite cologne!

Jerry ...How many skunks does it take to accumulate that much essence...

Garry-

Pan tension, 3-4 lbs

I agree with bob

I enjoy catching skunks. I actually like their smell.

Best ways to not catch them were mentioned above; first catch a bunch and knock down the local population, then make sets slightly away from cover.

My local skunk population has declined over the years, hardly catch them anymore. Wish we had more of them.

Embrace the black and whites!!!

Depends on the size here a couple jumbos will get you that or several small/mediums.

Skunks are attracted to urine and any lure, pan tension is the best method to avoid them

pan tension .

I once trapped a farm, I was hoping to get my first coyote. I was thrilled when the owner gave me permission to several places he owned, hundreds of acres... After a week of coming home smelling like a skunk everyday I pulled my traps.
