If you don't want any smell attach a rope to the live trap, trap them, cover the trap, use rope to put trap into pond.

Be ready.
The smell from fresh skunk is POWERFUL!

And they are mostly fur too. Their body really isn't all that large. More like a dang ferret.

If you can cover and carry the trap, tie a line to it and drop in pond, water trough, or other water deep enough to cover the trap. Use a tarp to cover the trap except the door. Once the skunk is caught pull the tarp over the trap. Weigh down the edges of the tarp. Run a hose from an exhaust pipe under the tarp and gas the skunk.
My old trapping partner made solid sheet metal cage traps. They had a hole by the door which just fit the end of a hose. Stand the trap up with the door side up. Stick a hose in and turn on the water. It leaked some around the door but it still filled the trap with water drowning the skunk. A drowning skunk doesn't spray.

73 degrees yesterday, we got the 20 yard concrete driveway done by 1130 and decided to take the Whaler to Seattle. We were given free moorage downtown at the Marina and a fellow we didn't know visiting from Europe picked up our dinner and beer tab . What a great day!

Thats what we did. Covered the live trap with a fabric so it would easily go in there, then wouldn't be scared and spray and if it did it wouldn't get us Then carried it a way downhill and shot it. Carried the trap into the pasture and dumped it out. Within 5 minutes turkey vultures arrived. Within 15 minutes carcass was gone. good riddance.

I read the KOMO Seattle news so we can be glad we don't live there,

Soaking up the moisture

We needed this. The last descent snow we had was in November. Our snowpack was 42%. A few years ago we were in the same boat and received a good snow this time of year. Then the wind came and by the end of the following day it was back to blowing dust. Hopefully the wind stays away and lets us keep this moisture.

I have drowned chicken killing coons off the dock in my pond. No mater what you do to secure the henhouse, their little hands they find a way in. Electric wire, buried wire they find a way in. A coon does not kill and eat one hen, they have to take a bite out of each and every hen. Then leave them alive for me to put out of their misery. I really hate raccoons. When I lower the live trap into the pond I love to see the bubbles rise.

I'm lucky to have 9 miles of saltwater separating me from it. World of difference here. We don't even have a stoplight here.

I was raised about 35 miles south of there. Have sister who lives and works there. A brother who was a cop there for 30+. I told my sister years ago that I love to see her but it against my religion to go to King county. But the sad reality is Portland is worse.

 

[greybeard]

For this reason alone, I will never go to Missouri

Hoping this is our last 3-5" for the season. Over 300" of white stuff for the season now, hopefully we don't add too much more.
