Lucky Me

I trapped and relocated two skunks this morning in which makes three skunks for the week. I'm on a roll baby... Soon we will be able to sleep with our windows open at night :D

I'd pay half of Dave's bill.
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

"Relocated" :lol:

There are many good ways to relocate a skunk.

I hear golf courses love having skunks. You should relocate the next skunk to the canyon lakes course

In a world, filled with skunks, the man with half a nose is king!

ETA: Can't find the whole clip but this should do...

They LOVE cat food. Just soak it in antifreeze. It'll make it easier to relocate them 6 feet under... :shock:

Poisoning critters is risky business as it may include the neighbor’s pets or result in something stink’en up the wood pile or back porch. I prefer the “ Live Trap & Swackâ€

I used to use giant Instant Kill traps that are meant for beavers. . .they don't spray.

No fun to skin them though. . . :lol:

No skunks here, but I built a sparrow trap yesterday. Trying to get rid of as many house sparrows as I can. Started shooting them in the spring and have gotten some. House sparrows are very bad for native birds. We even has a family of gold finches move in once I went after the sparrows. Usually have 2-3 goldfinches in the feed now. I've seen up to 6 at a time!

I like the looks of that Sparrow Trap. Enlarge the trap mechanism and I could see it working on starlings. I built several of these starling retreats but they only seem to work during nesting season.Image

BTW, I relocated skunk number 4 this Saturday. I hope that is one is the last for awhile. Something must have spooked him while he was in the trap because I could smell success 3 blocks from my house on my way home from HomeDepot. Kind of funny considering we have a bunch of In-Law company this weekend.

Interesting starling trap. I've read about people using the sparrow trap for starlings. You have to weight the elevator mechanism different since starlings are a heavier bird. There is a youtube video on how to go about making the sparrow trap. Its actually not to hard. I hate starlings and house sparrows. Nasty little birds
