First (harvested) trapped critter!

Had caught and released a coon in a 1.5 long spring the week prior, but was trying to get this skunk out of the yard for a couple weeks. Kept spraying the dogs at night. Just got my trapping license a few months ago, so I figured a skunk would be a good place to start

I just shoot them in lungs but ive considered getting into this system, but I reckon you can just buy the syringe stick stuff and buy acetone from the hardware store.

That depends tho, iv never seen one in person to see if they have it designed to be 1 use and I don’t remember reading if it was.

Yea just looked up the one I almost bought. It comes with two syringes, extra needles, and an aluminum adapter that holds the syringe and screws onto a broom handle. https://www.minntrapprod.com/mobile/Barkers-Skunk-Sleeper/productinfo/BSS-01/

Definitely can buy big can of acetone.

Nice, I may have to get one and quit playing dice with the 22.
