I trapped one in my garage one night. I remembered to close the garage door about 2 in the morning and trapped it in there. It was like three days later I was in the garage and noticed the scat. I did not know it was a skunk. I started poking around. I have a big bench/cabinet in the garage that is about six inches off the floor. I had my flashlight and was looking under that cabinet when we became virtually nose to nose. I could see the scars on it's nose. It could not spray being under that bench. They need to lift their tail. It just stared at me as I did it. I started wondering if it was a pet. I guess they do make pets of them.
Next I got out the Haveahart live trap. First try, it tripped the mechanism from the outside I presumed. Next I blocked the mechanism from being triggered but still could not trap it. I got up early one morning and looked through the window and could see it circling the baited trap. Damn it had to be hungry. Tuna fish and watermelon was on the menu. No go. That weekend I started poking at it and then it happened. It sprayed between 2 pieces of sheet rock. I was still finishing the drywall work. Then it dawned on me... DUMMY, leave the door open. Minutes later my wife yells it's under the bird feeder. BOOM, 410 does it's job. I threw the sheetrock away with its yellow gooey stink on it and cleaned the slab with CLR. It smelled like fresh concrete after that.
