[Jacob-list] skunks

[Gillian Fuqua]

	To get a ram in the washer: put a ewe in first...

	One of my girls got sprayed on the nose.  I smeared her nose with a 
tomato and did nothing else.  The smell faded over time.
	On skunks, this is for real, Havahart traps work well.  I had a pair 
decide to live in my barn two years ago.  I baited the Havahart with 
wet cat food.  In the morning Stinky was in the trap.  You can walk up 
to the trap, holding an old blanket like a curtain.  Drop the blanket 
over the trap, Stinky will calm right down, and you can carry him 
anywhere.  I put him in the back of the truck and drove several miles 
and dropped him in the woods.  It was a bit of a trick to uncover one 
end, open it and prop it open but Stinky eventually left and waddled 
off into the woods.
