Apparently skunks will not spray when confined but last one I caught
was
a mother with 3 kids that would not leave the area. Fortunately the
trap was under my deck and I was able to open it with my pole pruner
from above with not getting sprayed.



Wow. -- Was it one of the gravity closed traps. There's no way I can
think of to do that with our spring closed havahart.


If I had been a little smarter, I would have sprung for the more expensive
version with a rear sliding door when I bought my large trap. Those can be
opened pretty easily. (My smallest trap has one.)

But yeah, those front doors can be hard to open. Especially when you have
an angry critter in the trap.
