Just found your channel and subscribed. I'm a new trapper but found one small area that I set for coon last year and only caught skunks....LOL! Looking forward to this year! Hope you'll do a skinning, fleshing, and extraction video soon as well.
I appreciate you subscribing. Here in November when I'm trapping skunks I'll try to do an extraction and skinning right on the tailgate video. Real money to make!
@@nonametrapper4life being that I only have my basement to skin my catches I need to figure a set up to skin skunks while I'm still out on the line (at the truck).
We have skunks in our neighborhood. The same one would squeeze under the gate, get into the backyard. At first I said let them live, I don’t like killing animals. But then the guy sprayed our dog 3 times and it was time. I bought a humain trap at Harbor Freight and the 2nd night caught him. I took a .22 and dispatched the sucker. In California there are these bleeding hearts that would relocate them on someone’s land, but nobody wants them around. The animal rescue SPCA, won’t take them as well. I checked and these critters are in no way endangered. So keep up the good work.
Thank you buddy. That's right there are so many and so few of us to help keep the numbers down. You have the right mindset. Putting a problem on someone else is not the answer. If you ever have any questions. Don't hesitate to ask 👍
I will definitely try to remember come fur season. Please don't hesitate to reach out and remind me if I haven't by late November. But yes I will do my best to Ed and I appreciate you watching.
@@nonametrapper4life will do this is my 3rd year trapping and 2nd year skinning and tanning, trying to learn as much as i can thanks for the helpful videos
@@shotgun10151 that's awesome and no problem at all. Once you open that door like you have it pulls you in and you crave more knowledge. Any way I can help you just let me know.
I use 155s for skunks every once in a while I’ll get one that’s that still got a little life left but most are dead when I get there. 155s are the biggest conibear traps we can set on dry ground in Missouri lol
Why do you kill the skunks? I was hoping you were a catch and release trapper since I have 6 baby skunks on my property. So I won’t be using your despicable services.
Well I actually do relocation in situations like that. But do lethal work regularly in other situations to keep populations down and prevent disease spread. But maybe I'm not your cup of tea and that's fine.

Also nice catches buddy!

There's eight minutes of my life I'll never get back
Yet you took minute #9 to comment. Probably wouldn't recommend watching if you aren't interested in wildlife or being an outdoorsman.

good video , whats your go to bait ?
I run Kit n Kaboodle cat food to trigger with some sprinkled on ground. Good bait for coon or skunks.
I've been catching more skunks last couple years! Going to try collecting the essence this year!
Do bud! Clean glass jar and a couple syringes. There are 2 sacs around the anal area. One on each side. I think extraction before skinning is easier.
will you do a skunk video with the extraction before you clean them please

I'd definitely prefer 155s for just skunk but I'm usually after coon also. I hope y'all get that law changed bud lol. Makes it hard to use conibears
@@nonametrapper4life we did get a little win last year. 5” colony traps is all we’ve been able to use then they said 6” colony traps was legal
Love catching skunks
Me too buddy
Interesting. So do people leave your traps alone when they are under the bridges?
Typically they do. Not many people out and about in the fall and winter, and specifically under bridges.
i have been finding high bank trails leading to earth den holes and am pretty sure they are skunk holes . we will see this winter .
Definitely could be. I've caught skunk opossum and groundhogs all in those situations.
Thank you
No problem my friend
There only money if their gland is filled up with money.
Not always. The fur is worth more than most right now. And there are markets I don't talk about.
Stinky things
If you dispatch the way I do you never really smell skunk unless my essence jar is open.
