It would be a delicacy plate for skunk and opossum. I would put money on it, that you would do very well on your nuisance skunk and opossum jobs with no other bait and lure besides tainted hot dogs. Just a fact, don't care what any "expert" says. Tainted hot dogs will do a number on them critters, even when nursing. My kids set for skunks and opossums for me they aren't hard to trap by any means, and they bring in good $. Like any other animal we trap for nuisance work, study their habits and tendencies and you'll increase your odds tremendously. That being said, you don't need to be a Dr. Dolittle and "speak" skunk language to trap them like some think.
