My Feedback
Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
When I lived in the Springs, I trapped 27 coons, 12 skunks, and 2 foxes in a 4 year period. I always used a similar trap to yours with a dish of dry cat food. I kept it uncovered except for a 35lb weight on top to keep the coons from dragging it around. Trap size and location didn't seem to matter - I had one bore coon that barely fit in the trap - couldn't turn around. He did manage to roll it 60 feet across the backyard, and popped several welded wires, but it held him. I tried tuna fish at first, but our cat kept getting trapped - he didn't mind spending the night in the trap for a can of tuna.
I slapped together a plywood box to place over the trap for when I got skunks inside. It was just bigger than the trap, open on one end for releasing them back out the door, and open on the bottom for slipping it over the top of the trap. I cut out a hole in the top of the box for the trap handle. If I was slow and careful slipping it over a skunk, they usually did not spray. If they did, it was contained and they had to marinate in it until I released them. I'd just leave the box outside to air out.
You will not likely get rid of all the critters - new ones will just move into the territory. Best of luck.
Put some of this down the hole:

Add some water. Walk away and wait 20 mins or so. Seal hole. Let neighbors deal with the critters.
Or add a long fuse into the hole and get far away.Originally Posted by 00tec
That may fuck his shed up.
Get rid of those trash pandas and the stink weasel with a Conibear 330 trap. Nothing will escape and it's instant dispatch. That is of course there is no risk of a domestic animal getting into it. Nothing will survive it's grasp.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
No but the neighbor might.
I set traps in Elizabeth for the squirrels getting into the roof.
I caught a skunk one night when I forgot to close the trap at dark.
I then learned that Colorado does not allow you to release a striped skunk due to the threat of rabies.
Cost me $50 to have a skunk killer come and get the little critter:
"Colorado allows you to trap skunks in live traps using peanut butter, eggs, sardines or cat food.
Check traps daily and destroy striped skunks, as the state prohibits moving them due to rabies risk.
You may relocate spotted and hog-nose skunks with a permit.
Skunks also may be shot in rural areas."
You were lucky to find one willing as I understand most if not all will not touch it.Cost me $50 to have a skunk killer come and get the little critter:
