https://linktr.ee/shooter_media_outlet Before you set a trap to resolve a wildlife conflict, ask yourself these questions:
Are you prepared to kill the trapped animal?
Do you know how to properly dispose of an animal carcass?
Do you know how to release a trapped animal?
Do you know what bait should be used to ensure you catch the targeted species?
Do you know how frequently you must check a trap set to capture wildlife?
If you can answer “yes” to the aforementioned questions then you should know what you’re getting into when you set a trap. Landowners and homeowners may not trap beavers, bobcats, migratory birds, big game, threatened species or endangered species. Landowners should contact their district Wildlife Conservation Officer through the Region Office before trapping nuisance wildlife. Also, once traps are set, they must be checked daily.
Wildlife taken alive may not be retained alive, sold, or given away. Live wildlife may be relocated to a natural setting. Any wildlife killed must be reported to the Game Commission

(Below is a list of tips to trap skunks effectively.
Use a large cage trap, raccoon sized.
Set the trap in areas you have seen skunks.
Make sure the trap is firm on the ground.
Bait the trap with cat food or marshmallows.
Put a cover over the top of the trap.)
----How do you catch a skunk without getting sprayed?
Hold a large towel or sheet in front of you, down to your toes, as you walk towards the trap. Approach a trapped skunk calmly, humming softly as you near the trap in order to avoid startling the animal. Drop the towel or sheet over the cage once you reach it. Skunks don't like to spray if they can't see their target.----
