    Don't shoot him in the cage, or the cage will stink forever. And if you just let him loose, he WILL come back.

    Along time ago my ex brother-in-law shot a skunk that got into the basement furnace room of there house, they had to move and by all new stuff, that stink got in and on everything. He was lucky, but a good shot, the skunk was siting right next to the gas line to the furnace. true story,

    :roflmao:Not laughing at yea but with yea. We had a baby skunk in the garage one time and I got a cardboard box with a rope and tied one end to it. Put a bunch of dried cat food in it and tipped it over in the garage. When he came out of his idding place and got into the box to eat the cat food I pulled on the rope to right the box then pulled it out of the garage and down the driveway. Then went back up to the garage and closed the doors. :rolleyes::D

    Me, too, and they ended up marrying some other poor slob! I wonder how skunks can stand their own stench? They got noses.

    When I was a kid I used to stay at my grandfathers house upstate NY and he had skunks all the time.He used to fill a bowl with cheap whiskey and marshmallows.Put it out behind the house at night and pick up the passed out skunks in the morning.Take them down to the pond and sink 'em.

    That can get expensive if there's more than one skunk, and there always are. I'd still be afraid to aproach them even passed out. Have-a-heart trap works great--but you gotta sink em in the creek after.

    Here's my worst skunk story. My dog goes outside for his last visit at 12 midnight. I hear him barking and think there is an intruder out there. I grab my M-16 and flip on the lights. Dog is attacking a big skunk so I popped it 3 times. Too late. My dog runs into house from his doggie-door and proceeds to roll all over the carpet trying to wipe his eyes. His white fur was stained yellow from the skunk and I almost passed-out from the stink.

    Put dog in garage for the night, but since it's winter and maybe 10 degrees outside, I can't open any windows for fresh air. Stayed in a motel for a week, but house still reeked for a month even after using every known odor eliminating product known to man and shampooing rugs 3 times.

    Bought trap and caught 12 skunks over next few weeks. Sunk them all.

    Well after I shot daddy skunk in the head, momma skunk a few days later left with babies behind her. I took my BB gun and put one on her buttt to give her a helping hand on her way out. None have ever returned, course we had to tear out the patio. The darn things had dug such huge dens and tunnels under the patio it was cracking out and caving in. I've also used smoke, worked good. :D

    Alex, I laughed pretty hard reading your story.:D

    Love the story about putting out whiskey & marshmallows. Man, I'm sure glad we don't have to deal with skunks here. Every now and then there's a dead one in the road (just like in the song). I wonder if the buzzards eat 'em. Yuk.
