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. blush

I was very surprised too. 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.

Well, caught skunk #2 overnight. Labs got me up early and after I let them out, checked the three traps just off the front porch wall and one of the trap doors was down. Thought the dogs might have "nosed", so I grabbed a headlamp and turned on the red light, didn't see anything at first, then saw the skunk tucked back in under the tarp covering.

Going to work early today and no time to fool with it, so I'll dispatch it later this afternoon when I get back.

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 ??!!

You and me both ! My wife washed all of my old clothes I was wearing in a vinegar blend, then again with detergent.

I'm guessing there are more in there yet, so I'll see how many spray in the long run smile

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.
