Skunk. On an island.
So we have had a little skunk appear, kind of late in the season. One of the Gilford islands. We should get it relocated, right? Any advice? Thanks!

They’re pretty easy to catch in a Hav-a-Hart trap. Bait the trap with some canned tuna. If you catch it approach the trap slowly and throw something over it like an old towel...that will make “Stinky” less stressed. Now, where to take it?
Alternatively, you can call a pest service to remove it. Happy skunking! |

I was told the wet cat food is best cause it really only attracts the skunks and not the raccoons |

As for raccoons passing up a snack; sounds doubtful to me. |
Unless the thing is a problem just leave it be. Where there is one, chances are there are others.

Years ago, we had a skunk visit us here on East Bear Island. Our dog was very, very unhappy to meet it. We suggested that the offensive visitor go see its friends on Welch Island. 🚿

It boggles my mind that people will trap these things and release them on someone else's property.

Walking the dogs in the mornings I have seen several the past couple weeks. Real pain the arse if you have dogs. Trap it and kill it. Problem solved. Can't think of any value they add.

That is very true. I also saw one in my yard one morning and it was attacking an underground be colony as well. But overall if you ever have a dog sprayed you come to hate skunks quick!:laugh:
