I caught 2 babies yesterday and reset the trap last night and caught more tonight, but not sure how many till I empty the trap. I kinda smelled yesterday after emptying the trap even though I touched nothing. That smell just attaches itself to you. I'm reluctant to go empty the trap because of that, but I covered up their holes and I will wait and see if something digs them out again. If so then I need to reset the trap. It's scary picking up a trap of skunks and taking it some place. My heart is going a mile a minute until I throw it in the water(sorry Debby) but they carry rabies and they are too close for comfort and would never leave because of the food they can get here. That's all I need to is to let the dogs out in my own yard and get them sprayed or worse.
3 more tonight so total of 6 and I think that was the whole family but I am still being very careful as I walk into the barn. I will continue to check their holes to make sure I got everybody and the good thing is I still smell like a rose!!
Did you stick with eggs as bait or change ? Very glad to hear you got all of them. Can't imagine how bad it would have gotten with a whole family hanging around the yard !! Good job!!
