For skunk I use a No. 1 ½ steel trap, and for a sure catch I place the trap within the hole or den, but on one side and not in the center, as most trappers do. I find the skunk along riverbanks, lake shores, also in the hills where the grass and weeds are plentiful and high. Cover the trap with grass, then a thin layer of dirt. To set traps on their paths, place some soft material under the pan and a small quantity of grass above the trap, then cover slightly with snow. Drive a twenty-five inch stick into the ground, to which attach a piece of rabbit or chicken, about fifteen inches up. Attach some kind of clog or brush to the end chain, to prevent the skunk from getting a dead pull and escaping.
