Perfect. Thank you.

jerry now do you keep pods until you have enough to do all at once.

If you freeze them, make sure they are completely thawed prior to extraction.

What is the rendered skunk fat used for

Sage. Its used in formulating lures and baits. Good stuff!

Best syringe for handling essence. One I'm using now I've use for several years without replacing o-ring and less cleaning than it should have.

In cool dry conditions you can stack skunks for several days no problem or just remove the pods and freeze the pods in a glass jar until you have enough to tap at the same time. Podding should be done only with thawed skunks never frozen ones.

Jerry, are you using just one #10 can for your 120s?

I have 80 or so #10 food cans from the jail kitchen the plan is to slot them just like a bucket for a 160-220. I’m just planning on using Belisle 110s along with some Victor 120 and Belisle conis I have In the shed. Just one end would be open

I really like it as a cover scent while deer hunting.
I saw one hit on the highway the other day. The white stripes were so wide, they almost covered its entire back. Beautiful animal.

Thanks Jerry. I just went and dug a bunch of them out of the school dumpster. I am so glad I saw this thread, cause I was just starting to build a bunch of boxes to use the 155's I have. I can see lots of options with the can.

Had a call yesterday on a Pepe, the guy had it in a Havahart cage in his attached garage with cardboard wired over both ends and extra wire going under the overhead door. His plan was to drag the metal cage over the cement floor to get it outside.SMH To make it worse the only light was a single 60 watt bulb in the entire garage so the skunks details were hard to see.

Told the guy that getting that skunk dragged across the cement floor was a bad plan I doubt he could get the noisy overhead door opened without it spraying under those conditions. The skunk was edgy I told the guy this might not end well and to never trap them in your garage it the worse thing you can do.

Ok so I only ever dispatch and toss them in a ditch. Check this morning and have a small skunk in one of the boys coyote sets. Since I heard low velocity shot to the chest helps with them spraying heading back to the house for an air gun. It worked last time.

Now I don't have any bottles or anything to take or put quilt in. Is there anywhere local to get them in a hurry and are there any good videos to watch and show removing pods quil ect. It's probably time to start using them not jus being glad to get them removed. May even have it tanned.

Any fast replies would be appreciated.

Any glass jar works in a pinch Ragu, jelly or ball jar think about hunting a deer avoid the neurological system it’s guaranteed trouble.

I put my essence in whiskey bottle

Found a 22g x3/4 on a 3ml we have for goats. Now where to not cut and what to save. Then where to market.

Have not dispatched yet

Man would definitely want to keep track of that bottle so not to get confused.

I would try and get a bigger needle and syringe. The last one I did had over 20cc per pod. You don’t want to have to keep poking if you don’t have to.

I promise u that isn't going to happen lol

I've noticed that the color of the essence seems to be lighter around here in February. Here are two one ounce bottles
The lighter one is from a skunk yesterday
The darker one from two skunks in the fall
The fall ones are always that dark but not so with the February ones. Anyone else see color differences in your extracted essence?
