I've gotten 14 skunks in the last three days using marshmallows and crunchy Cheetos. It just seems to work.

I have bacon grease on hand for skunks and rats. I also really like the wcs yellow stripe. Mostly catch skunks with forced sets though.

sqs, 7x8x24 and I'm guessing that the heavy smell of fish paste on those shiny white marshmallows would do the trick?
opie28, Rob sent me some eggciting. I'll have to go and find it. Thanks.
LT, thanks, I'll try running some Jameson's lure into the cage.
Baxter, yeah, forced sets and Comstocks would be my choice. The new guys need something a little easier.
Thanks to all of you. You certainly gave me a variety to work with!

I expect that fish on a marshmallow would work just fine but then again, fish on a turd would probably work just as well. If there's fish to be had, a skunk will find it. edit: I don't want to sound like fish is the only thing that will catch a skunk. It's just the best thing I have found. Heck, I've even caught a skunk in an unbaited cage that had caught another one a few days before. They're usually very cooperative.
