Does anyone know how to build wire cage traps or plastic live traps for skunks or coons?
IMO no need to build plastic skunk traps. Cage trap with a piece of rubber or w/e you desire draped over the cage is plenty. People will argue that but knowing how to handle skunks will be key. If you're going to make a raccoon trap and you're planning on using a locking system like havahart, safeguard, or any traditional swing door trap. Be sure that your locking rods are durable, if a raccoon can slip their paws out from under the door and that door gives, it will get out. They are very strong animals for their size. JMO, IMHO..Good Luck!
