I noticed Monday evening on a visit to my parents house that the skunks were after the grubs on their lawn.

I set a Have a Heart trap.

Got a call from Mom this morning that the door was down and the critter inside had a big furry tail. I got skunk #1.
Ready for transportation.
I tried taking a picture as I released it. I admit any skunk is like a loaded gun. I am always nervous. The pics didn't come out. I reset the trap tonight. I haven't met a skunk yet who could resist peanut butter and honey.

Got skunk #2 today. Another big one. Much more black backed. Pulled the trap and set it at my house. I got one of those pesky buggers out back. Doesn't help the neighbors on both sides of us lawns look like they got harrowed by skunks looking for grubs.

You never know what your going to catch these days.
It is face only a mother could love.
Possum's sure are ugly. They didn't exist up in NH when I was a kid. Caught my first one in a 1.75 fox set in the mid 80's. Didn't know what it was at first. I think they came north on the grain trains. They are now common road kill cafe. It is cool when they play dead.
