Otherwise, why are you trying to catch them? I could handle a skunk under the deck call, set traps 50' feet away in most places and catch a dozen of them. Makes for a bigger pay check but it doesn't solve the original problem!

They also have one of the poorest immune systems I've seen. We have had them all but disappear from West Nile virus, then rabies, then distemper. They seem to have stabilized a little in the last couple of years. I like skunks. Smart people will pay us to get one out of their trap. Dumb people usually turn into smart people after the first try!

Around here, the ideal habitat contains plenty of lawn with brushy areas here and there. Plenty of bird feeders is a definite plus. The more decks and sheds the better. Cat/dog food is manna from the humans. Originally Posted By: Paul Winkelmann I don't know about New Mexico but you can trap them out in a hurry up here. It takes a while around here but if I trap the same area year after year, which I have, I can come close to clearing them out. I really like skunks. If you're gentle with them they are some of the most friendly wildlife around.

Also as I re read the article in the trappers post it stated I do not set out in the open. some have since asked me if I set in thick stuff, I don't set open cages in stuff that I can't get the tarp over. I set most of the time on the open side of a edge where they are walking.
