Skunks out here are dumb. I like to use hard boiled eggs. But honestly I have trouble not catching them. I like meaty baits but can catch on anything from chips to peasnuts.

I'm sure that I will have a lot of guys that will agree with me on this one. Make a set for any other animal, use the best bait for

whatever species it is that you are trapping, pray that you won't catch a skunk, and you will probably have one the very next day.

My service area is small town rural. I would say 50% of the skunks I trap are trap shy. I work with people that can not get the skunk to go into the trap. In most cases I ask if they had gotten any skunks before and in most cases the answer is yes, but I can't get this one. Guess who came home!

Fish flavor wet cat food will catch a skunk as fast or faster than anything else I've tried.

Other than that, anything you would like to eat a skunk would too.

Cream stuffed little Debbie oatmeal cookies. Also a good possum magnet.

For whatever reason, they like bananas. Night owl brand K-9 commitment paste works well too.

Commercial paste of one kind or another plus fruit loops. I too like positive sets when everything seems good for it.

2 oreo cookies + Jameson's grub stake skunk bait ... a combo not attractive to cats. I bought the cheap store brand oreos so you can eat more of them yourself. Cheap trappers like positive sets with no bait are better because they don't spend $ on bait/lure - fence crawl under, funnel around shed, deck porch etc. When you catch a female skunk save the trap don't clean it. Sometimes a white paper bag is a good sight draw when you might need one.

I caught my skunk on fruit (mixture of cantaloupe, honey dew, and pineapple) of course it was the first time I've ever caught a skunk before.


Goal:
10/10 coon
0/1 mink
0/1 Fox
0/1 coyote
0/1 bobcat
2/0 skunks (let one go)
Too many possums

I have noticed that no one has mentioned any bait that skunks don't like; probably 'cause there ain't none.
