FAQ: How do I release a skunk from a live trap?
Before setting live traps, cover them with canvas to reduce
the chances of a trapped skunk discharging its scent. The canvas
creates a dark, secure environment for the animal. Always approach
a trap slowly and quietly to prevent upsetting a trapped skunk.
Captured skunks should be transported at least 10 miles and
released in a habitat far from human dwellings. Attach a length
of heavy string or fishing line to the trap cover and release
the skunk from a distance. Removing and transporting a livetrapped
skunk may appear to be a precarious business, but if the trap
is completely covered, it is a proven, effective method for
relocating a skunk. |
