how can I catch a skunk

NEVER shoot a skunk in the head. rabies is the devil.
I mostly use cages because skunks are often found where I might catch a house cat as well. You can cover and move the cage if you like or I prefer to set the cage in a spot where I can shoot it in the lungs with a .22 then walk away. I have killed god knows how many this way and I bet 2% might spray thats it. The key is to shoot as far away as possable then just walk away and let it be for a wile. I also use a needle and uthanization "juice" at times too.
 
im a super on golfcourse and always have skunks grubing on fairways. i use cage traps when caught cover with towel and put it in lake or stream drown it. i have never been sprayed. skining on the other hand be very careful not to hit glands. or find the den hole could be 5 or 6 of them fill all but one throw a smoke bomb in and cover that hole quickly smoke displaces oxygen. multiple skunks in a den site. but thats if you dont want them. goodluck
