Chicken wing bones work great for me, save em in the freezer till needed. lure is small marshmallows into the tube trap.

Tell me about this skunk o matic
I have found no consistent way to catch skunks Seems each job almost is totally differnt
Got this one fella that catches them in his nieghborhood and.i go pick them up and he always uses the left over esj of his subway sub. But I hate subway subs
Had another job that I tried everything that I could and was about to give up and put some bob Wilson's green beaver lure in and caught two skunks in a couple of days and promblem solved.
Skunks are my week point for sure. Some projects bang I get them and others just drag on
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

I have tried a lot of of different lures and baits for skunks and have had little or no success with any of them, what I use the most is Wise butter popcorn, it will catch many times first night with the tube and in the springtime for babys with the large have-a-heart and putting 3 or 4 piles of popcorn in before the trigger and one small pile after the trigger I can catch a whole family at once and in the same trap, the first enters and eats at the first pile until he gets bumped in, he eats at the second pile and the bumper eats at the first pile, more and more skunks enter until one gets bumped across the trigger which locks them in. with skunks the have-a-hearts solid door gives a side to approach the trap without offending the skunks Also to satisfy the professional aspect of customer relations I will explain how I taint the popcorn with Red-fish Powder for a lure, popcorn is the visual, red-fish powder is the lure. Show me something that works as good Wise Popcorn for skunks and I will change! I invest a hundred + every year on baits and lures, most are disapointing, with multi trap sets I will try the new lure/ bait first, if no catch I will bait one trap with somthing Proven to work. I dont like using the popcorn, I use it because it works. and I dont catch CATS or Coons with it.
Some will wait for what they want, But this is much more slicker, WORK REAL HARD for what you want, and you will get it much more QUICKER ...
