just shoot them where they stand go out next morning and pick them up with a snow shovel and discard as far away and down wind from your home. dont jiggle them to much on the shovel. lol. i have been told if you shoot a skunk in the head it will not spray dont know if this is true or not never tried it. i just shoot to get them out of here.
I used to have an urban varmint removable business. I have killed more skunks than I care to think about, usually in a Tomahawk live trap. A 22 to the head= instant death and 99/100 times a nice dose of the green stuff. I can smell it just thinking about it.
The garbage can trick will work well and if you put the lid on carefully without showing yourself to the skunk he will likely not spray. Carry the can very carefully and avoid bumping the can. Any bump will likely lead to a spray.
The water in the can will also help. I have never done it for skunks but it does a number on pot guts. Do the same thing but use worms for bait and a 5 gal bucket!
A word of caution, Do not shoot the skunks by your cabin, the smell will persist for quite a long time. If you do get skunk odor around try to find some neutroleum-alpha. It is hard to find but can be found online or at some vets. Hydrogen peroxide will also help a bit when mixed with backing soda and a bit of water.
Good Luck!!!
