Don't know..but I'll gladly trade skunks with you!! As soon as the trap snaps and they feel the pain with that , or pull to the chains end they release!! As kids we caught hell from my dad if we trapped a skunk in a wood chuck hole in the hay field and the wind was blowin towards the barn.. Dealin with the skunk wasn't as bad as dealin with my dad!! Now That I'm 41 and my boy does it I see what my dad was upset about! Yes, dogs are my worst enemy when working with skunks..if the dog gets one worked up ..it's hell from there on out! I have no trouble at all with skunks in box traps..everything is slow , Usually I'll walk up and let them know I'm there.. I won't try to cover one if he is sleeping..if they get startled they will let a reminder off! Other then that I just use a Black plastic walk up slow and once he is covered, I have never had one shoot at what he couldn't see!
