My neighbor drinks beer all day and night in his front yard. I could care less if he would turn the #&%@ music down. Tried talking but then he don't speak English, he speaks clear English the rest of the time. Tried calling the law to talk to him but nothing works. Everyone around is getting pissed.

I came up with a great idea. Chain a skunk in his front yard! A lot funnier than shooting his truck. Can you imagine him trying to unchain that thing? I would have a smell but I think he would understand that. The neighbors want to video it and put it on YouTube.

But how do you catch a skunk? Then put a cable on it? If it was in a box with the lead hanging out I would walk over and stake it then grad the box and run. If you have them in a dark box will they still spray?

I like the way you think,  just catch em in a reg hav-a-hart trap, were a rain suit and gloves and yes get them in a dark box as fast as possible.  Have fun and be careful those suckers bite HARD

A skunk has to raise it's tail to spray. So if you can keep it's tail down you won't get sprayed. Good luck and keep us posted.

So put cat food in a trap. Stuff him a mailing tube. Then stake him out with a long string on the tube. Pull string. Sit back with neighbors accross the street. Drink beer. Laugh our a$$es off. I think I will wallk over and ask him to turn the music down. Then go get a box with a string hanging out. When I drive a stake in his yard he will wonder what's up. Specially with everyone watching. I guess I will keep the rain suit handy to clean up. But it will be a while bfore his yard stops stinking. I just hope nobody tells him before I catch a skunk.

take it from me, they dont have to raise the tail to spray i tried holding the tail down before.  your saving grace with a skunk is the spray can run out after quite a few sprays so they cant actually nail you but they still stink to high heaven

My wife says he will shoot it. But he won't touch it, he ain't got no guts. I don't think he could shoot it if he tried. He won't even look me in the eye. One neighbor says he will run down the street. But he plays the music from his truck with the door open so it will stink if he jumps in.

Skunks are reluctant to use their smelly weapon, as they carry just enough of the chemical for five or six uses—about 15 cc—and require some ten days to produce another supply.

He ain't been around since I said I was going to get a skunk. Somebody blabbed. But I only caught a couple cats and a possum so far anyway. I just want to know if a skunk bay dog can dog the spray or if you need tomato juice?

If you have access to a traq. gun look up the right dosage for a small animal and dart the skunk. It will spray after being darted but it will be out after a few minutes. Then you'll have time to put a collar, and chain or something on it. Then put the skunk in a dark enclosed box with the end of the chain hanging out. Chain it to a tree or stake, open the box and haul a$$ holding on to the box. The skunk will be awake and still have plenty of spray. Enjoy the show. And post us a video when you get it.

My neighbor was out today but had the music down and turned it off by 6PM. Somebody told him what was up. I caught the same cat three times. It had a collar so I let it go again. At least the other cats only got caught once. I will find a new spot for the trap. I wish a skunk would be as easy as a possum.

Easier buying pepper spray. Make sure you are right with the wind and let it fly.

I found out a deputy stopped because of public intoxication. Then the dumb a$$ went turn the music down and sat in the driver's seat to turn the key off. So he got to go to jail for DUI because he was operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. The truck was even parked on the public street. What an idiot. I guess there were a lot of complaints to the sheriff's office. I guess the problem is solved and I did not even get to see it! That just sucks because I did not even get a video of him getting arrested! at least his friends were smart enough not to get in their cars or trucks.
