Skunk question

[Dredly]

hypothetically speaking if someone in a state that wasn't PA had an issue with a skunk that likes to hang around and spray their dogs and make a general nuisance of itself... what would be a good way for that someone to remove said skunk?

[God's Country]

Hypothetically a live trap baited with some leftovers and a .22,

or call the hypothetical game commission.

Here's what the state says:

Legal status
Striped skunks are considered furbearers, so they are
provided legal protection. A hunting license is required
before trapping skunks unless they are causing damage to
the property. If it is possible in your area, allowing trappers
onto your property during trapping season (October
through February) may alleviate your problem while
allowing the trapper some income and recreation. If skunks
are causing damage, the property owner may trap or
remove skunks without a hunting license.

Trap the little bugger and relocate...

Live trap, 10 cc's of acetone in a hypodermic needle attaches to a long pole... The acetone will kill it quickly and it won't even have a chance to spray... XD40 Coyote gave that little hint a couple years ago...

If you see it, shoot it and call it a day...

Is your yard infested with grubs? If it is, kill the grubs and the skunk will look for a new food source.

just dont shoot it in the ass, a guy from NYC asked me how to get rid of a skunk and i told him to shoot it in the backside sarcastically, and he did lol didnt smell to good

I vote for a .223, .22-250, 220 swift, .22 hornet, etc.... Check out

I trapped an adolescent skunk before by accident. We were using a Havahart
trap with peanut butter as bait for chipmunks that were digging holes in the garden...

I dont know how he fit in there but he did..then we just threw the trap with him still inside in a garbage bag, put him in the trunk of the car, and relocated him..

It didnt piss at all...maybe his glands werent developed yet..

If you own alot of land I would probably just shoot em' though.

Shoot, shovel, shut up.

In the event that the person in my hypothetical can't shoot because of how close the neighbors houses are... what would be a good way for this person to lure the skunk into a trap so it could be "relocated"?
