Early Season Skunk Trapping - Baited Pen Sets
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 окт 2024
- It's finally time to get busy with some trapping! Over the past few years I've seen a handful of skunks around the trapline so I thought I'd try my hand at trapping some using baited pen sets. I'm using 120 body grip traps, although I think going a little bit bigger would be better. Next go around I'll likely move up the the 160's. Thanks to all who watch! God bless.
great to see how happy you are to catch a skunk!
Old Rancid Crabtree would be proud.
Trapping is how I bought my school Clothing back in the seventies. My times have changed. Lol
Yup, times are certainly different now. Trapping is no longer a job, these days it's a hobby. Still plenty fun though! Thanks for tuning in.
Wow!! Thats really cool, the skunk is looking just beautiful! I'd be quite interested in the skinning process aswell. Thanks for the video
Skunk success!! Keep it up mate, I know these videos aren’t modern viral, but they mean so much to a lot of us. The simplicity and peace found in any of your videos is a welcome virtue.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. I enjoy making these videos and I'm glad others enjoy them as well. Take care!
I don’t think I know anyone who had ever trapped skunks. Very interesting.
Very beautiful animal... 😊
Very nice skunk. Fine pelt. Well done sir👍👍
Thanks!
Great video as usual. My sister in law in Show Low Az feeds all the feral cats in the neighborhood. Every night she gets a couple skunks and a family of raccoons come up to her house.
Kusk Wild goes musk wild. Nice polecat, beautiful pelt.
Thanks for tuning in!!
That’s a real nice catch. Beautiful markings.
Nice job,will make a beautiful fur.
You just have to try, very nice looking skunk.
Really interesting to see the trapping process and the skin... thanks for sharing.
When trying to attract critters, we used a mix of shelled field corn and oily sunflower seeds. Everything in the woods (1) eats those seeds, or (2) eats the critters that eat corn and sunflower seed.

I'd be interested to see how you skin that out so perfectly!
Perhaps I'll film skinning some critters in the future. I just know the youtube guidelines are a little iffy about showing that sort of content.
Great content! Good job!
congrats and thanks for the share !
Success! You never know right. Brave man dealing with the possibility of scent gland leakage...😮 Nice work on the skinning, looks like a quality pelt. Good luck moving forward with trapping and hunting. Surprised no deer yet, that's why they call it hunting and not getting... Stay safe, see ya next time.
Thanks for watching! The pelt is quite nice. Skunk fur has always been very appealing to me. I'll be getting busy with the deer hunting soon. My freezer is completely empty so I'll be trying my best to fill both tags. Take care!
🙏🙏👍👍💎💎Excellent result Ryley , God Bless to you and family
Thanks, Wayne! God bless you and yours as well!
Always great catching exactly what you were trying for!
Congrats!
Great start to the season, congradulations.
Beautiful
Beautiful pelt.
That is great Nice catch. It a special guy to trap a skunk!
Know of any other channels similar to yours? Would like to watch more content like this
Hey man first time I e seen anyone trap skunk lol but it was awesome. The deer looks yummy lol looking forward to the next one and as always stay safe
Thanks for watching! Take care!
Bro I can not wait for winter camping vids
FYI, I had a skunk who was crazy for almond slices of all things. It kept flipping rat traps baited with them and eating the bait, until it finally wedged itself into a tiny live trap intended for rats to get after the slices that were stuck to the trigger with peanut butter. IDK. Maybe it was just that one crazy skunk...but maybe not.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give some almond slices a try.
See you finally got your Dad on camera. Sneaky! ;-)
In the background? That's actually my wife haha.
Nice catch Ryley! Goodluck to the trapping and hunting season.
Thanks! Take care.
thanks for the video
Thank you for watching!
Nice,!
Turn the pelt inside out and put in the stretching board

Use buketts to pot the
Traps in and bait in the bottom
Can stretch em on a fox drying board.
Think a muskrat board would suffice?
Use eggs for bait they love em.
Nice one, chuffed to bits for ya 😊
Cat foods the go then eh ?
Seems to be! Worked for me when i was a kid and it's working for me now haha.
Hey. Where did the wood shed roof go!?
This video took place over the past couple weeks. While the traps were set I was busy building the roof. Good eye to notice!
Nice catch, Kusk! Shame to part with those sardines, but at least you caught a quality skunk. He ought to tan up nicely. You gonna post any deer hunting footage this year? Good luck putting meat in the freezer!
I'll trade a tin of sardines for a skunk any day haha. The deer hunting videos will be coming soon. I have two tags and an empty freezer. Thanks for watching!
@@KuskWild Best of luck to you!
I owned a skunk as a pet . He was smart and huge! I walked him on a leash like a dog. Like a dummie i loaned him out to a friend. He took him and his girl friend out to the drive in movies. She thought she wpuld be cute and sprayed him with perfume...
He didnt like that so he sprayed her and destroyed the inside of his caddilac and her. Just bought the car. Worked and saved for two years for a down payment and got a loan. He killed him with a stick and dropped him off in my yard and took off. I heard what happened . His insurance covered it . Still miss him. The guy i got him from said he was surgically descented . Guess it grows back.
A pet skunk would be very cool! Sorry to hear about yours.
Does a skunk pelt have much value or is it just better to keep fur for personal use?
Sadly they aren't worth much. Looking at the results from a recent fur auction they averaged about $30. It's a shame too because the fur is very beautiful.
@@KuskWild interesting, thanks for getting back. Ya the fur looks great on the one you caught.
What do you use the fur to?
It can be sold but skunks aren't worth much these days. I will tan this one and use it for an upcoming project. Take care!
Is that the first skunk you ever skinned
First in many years. Haven't trapped a skunk since I was a kid.
I was excited to see the skinning process, then it didnt happen,
Sorry! The youtube guidelines aren't too fond of showing that stuff. Perhaps I'll film a skinning video in the future.
@@KuskWild ive seen vids on here of ppl skinning deer. Its educational so YT can deal with it lol

If you don't already know skunks stink.
Trapping skunks is operating at the bottom of the barrel. (1) a nasty critter to associate with. (2) market for skunk pelts is probably not going to start an economic landslide. (3) they make one heck of a powerful repellent for wives! Why don’t you consider trapping something friendly - like, say, rock pythons? Or world champion snipers? A jaguar? Etc.
Oh well, sigh. I wish you good luck. You’re going to need it.
