Crack me up ~ I knew that question was coming! I have heard that a skunk will not spray you if they cannot see you, but I don't believe that. What I do is sneak up quietly to the trap with a tarp in front of me, then gently cover the trap with a tarp. Take the skunk to a safe area, open the trap door, when the skunk walks out ~ shoot it. If you work slow and steady, the skunk will not spray you. I have heard of people putting the live trap in a barrel of water, but that seems oddly mean to me. Some people use a shot gun and shoot the skunk inside of the trap, but that seems like a good way to ruin an expensive trap.
