Male or female. Helps to know what is going on. Good question, however - I was so caught up in the moment I didn't look. I'll be sure to determine the sex next time.

Called my buddy Mike ( aka "Muskrat" ) and he said the same thing as well. Nothing overnight, but then it's darn cold out there. I'll set the additional traps later this morning.

Geez. I bet u never imagined this dillema would drag on so long. Next year u better put some good mesh or something 2 keep them away from your porch No, not really. Was pondering about closing the den entrance and waiting to see if it would be re-opened....then this happened. To say the least, there will be traps set for some time yet. Skunk #1 didn't spray, skunk #2 did big time. I had a tarp between us, but he still got me a little. He's dispatched now and my old clothes are soaking and washing in the machine right now. Skunk #2 was a "one holer", gender wise. Didn't check the first one....wonder if it as female ??!!

What breaks down the skunk smell is a mix of Hydrogenperoxide, BakingSoda, and soap. None of that vinegar or tomato juice stuff. Cheers, You are correct if one is washing clean a dog or two, etc. This actually works on my clothes. I didn't get sprayed hard as my dogs usually do.
