Hey Shawn, I was thinking it would be cool if you placed an analog clock next to your traps so we could see what time all the rodent activity is happening. Give it a try!
Haha I was thinking that too! Skunk: "dear Lord please help me escape this trap, I promise not to get carried away by Shawn's monday treats!" Racoons: "don't worry mate, Shawn's just tricking us for his other rodents to get trapped in his youtube channel. You'll get wise enough next week!"
Hahaha!!! That rat doing a mid-air somersault when that trap door slammed down! And thank you for the slow mo and the side angle on that shot! You knew we would enjoy that 😂😂😂
I heard that a skunk needs two things to spray. 1. Their tale must be up. 2. Their back feet must be on the ground. They say if you pick up a skunk by the tail it can't spray. I'm not gonna try it. Lol
Even if the skunk wouldn't spray someone who picked it up by the tail, chances are it would still bite them! As this video demonstrated, skunks are very good at doubling back along their length, and as members of the weasel family, they have powerful jaws for their size.
When I was a kid running my trap line I used to release the stinky little varmints so as not to deal with the smell. The procedure was to casually and slowly walk up to them as they werent very energetic after being in the trap all night and I`d use a long forked stick like for a snake and pin their tales down to the ground and release them that way they won`t spray and ruin my trap set , they would just run off after wards. Did that for years and never had one spray.
Shawn I love the respect for animals that you're passing on to your children. So many wouldn't recognize the charm in someone who ownz a species as a pet, while simultaneously exterminating their wild (and sometime invasive) brethren as well. I've owned rabbits and rats as pets as an example, yet I've slaughtered and eaten rabbits and exterminated rats as needed, often while I was still loving and protecting their pet brothers/sisters. The duality of man.
This is random but your voice is very calming and I am really scared of mice and watching your videos helped me when I found one in my room 2 years ago. Been a fan ever since.
You are lucky...I have a 🐀...I think a baby as saw him..they have been coming into houses this summer..{UK} through open back doors in the heatwave..I hope he has gone now.
I remember when I had rats the size of cats where I used to live, very bad and dangerous, but lucky i moved to american and the biggest thing in the house are tiny little cockroaches
@@monkeygraborange yeah,really. For all the skunk knows,he would be executed in the morning, so,might as well enjoy the reason u got trapped for to begin with.
My grandpa used to build traps for skunks out of 6 inch steel pipe. We caught a lot of them like that. Ive caught em in normal live traps and just put a towel over it when I needed to move em and no problems so far but that may just be dumb luck
I'm so sick of the skunk that lives in my alley. It spayed in my yard under my window again, which is open for cool night air. I didn't sleep much because the smell was suffocating me and made me sick.
If you want a good thumbnail of you and a skunk I think your reaction to getting sprayed would be perfect. It has you, the skunk, action and best of all it is funny as hello. People would come for the humor and stay for the content. I had a good chuckle as you ran away.
Update: Caught 11 skunks so far, some seems to be smart and go in and then quickly run back out dragging the bait out. However bait they could not reach that ticked them was the bait under the pad. The bolts holding the metal frame to the pipe did break off however i was able to fix with some screws and bolts
Like many a Fox hunt...perhaps Shawn allows them to breed in ''Close Season'' to keep the numbers up!..But I thought that...Always a good supply in the barns.
Look at where he lives. He'd need to make the barn completely pest proof to eliminate all of the blighters. Its called pest control and not pest eradication for a reason.
@@aviendha1154 Indeed- the barns where son has workshop has rats- they don't use baits, simply because the rats tend to keep their populations stable- and no foodstuffs are made there. The rats will take any human food left out though! I learned that to my cost- left a packet of chocolate powder drink in a bag hanging up, and a pecan danish overnight- and the rats got both. My own fault- son warned me specifically about not leaving any food out, but I thought bagged and hanging up would be ok.
He lives in the middle of nowhere - look at the size of those fields and wooded areas. Even if he sets up all his traps, he will never EVER catch them all. People underestimate how quickly they breed - and Shawn basically lives on a major spawn point. The barn also provides food and shelter... so at least there's lots of "business" in making trap videos lol
Surprisingly the man who traps and euthanizes rodents has many pet rodents of his own, I love it. I'm a little curious of their enclosures/how they're kept as there's quite a bit of controversy on proper care. I hope all your mice, guinea pigs, and what ever else you may have is living their best life!
That 🦨 skunk must be grateful it got a hotel and food that night that’s why it didn’t want to leave lol. The review was so good the skunk 🦨 spared you of getting sprayed. 😂
The raccoons are such characters. They are really fun to watch. They wanted that rat but of course couldn't figure out how to get to it, and then when they came back and the skunk was in there that one raccoon reared up like what stinks!? Too funny.
I think the racoons were having a good laugh at the skunk for getting trapped - seems like one felt the gate and got bad vibes - maybe the one that got trapped before?
I love your channel Shawn! You do a great job with the videos you make. I stumbled across your channel a couple of years ago and have been subscribed ever since!
Whoever disliked the video was so amazed by your good work that they accidentally pressed the dislike button and then they accidentally clicked of the video and couldent find the video anymore
I am Pepe Le Pew, your lover." "You are my peanut, I am your brittle!" "Ah, my leetle much ado about somezing. [kiss, kiss]. Ah, my leetle lost labor's love.
I have a number of about the same trap I made out of 12" PVC water line ( Blue Pipe ) I have 2 pipes , 1 at each end one on each side to drive rod through That keeps raccoons from rolling the traps over , we have to control the numbers of raccoon from damaging our field corn IMO that would be a good upgrade to that trap
You should use the skunk to catch something bigger like a wolf or a coyote, then the coyote to catch a bear, then the bear to catch a moose, then the moose to catch an elephant
I have never been lucky or unlucky enough to be sprayed by a skunk. My dad who grew up on a farm said its a very strong smell. Almost like burning rubber. 😂
I had this trap close twice due to wind from a cold front coming in causing the trapdoor to drop. Not being able to see if there is a skunk inside doesn't help, I haven't caught a skunk yet, so don't know if they stay inside the trap when you are trying to release them.
I have the same trap, only it is larger. I have trapped many skunks & racoons in it! When I caught a skunk, rather then waiting for skunk to leave trap I found a bridge that I could release the skunk into water below! I would open front door on trap and shake the trap until the skunk dropped out, so there was no chance for the skunk to spray!

HI SHAWN 🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️
I really wish that when you provided Amazon links that they actually went to the exact product. I find that they never do for me
The trap almost snapped the other rat's head off. How entertaining.
Shawn Woods catch the rat with the bot fly on it back be a interesting watch see how big it is
🐀...💬
You might try to
find a big piece of acrylic
and use it as a shield to protect yourself from being sprayed by the skunks
🐿...💬
which will still allow you to be seen in the video standing behind a see through wall without getting sprayed
😏👍

JD Price That is actually a good idea! I like that!
Great idea
I approve!
Hell yea
awesome
Skunk: Thanks, Shawn, for the snack and capsule hotel room.
Rat: did he say humanly dispatching?
Those raccoons were coming back for the giggles when the skunk got caught, as if they didnt get caught last week.
Haha I was thinking that too!
Skunk: "dear Lord please help me escape this trap, I promise not to get carried away by Shawn's monday treats!"
Racoons: "don't worry mate, Shawn's just tricking us for his other rodents to get trapped in his youtube channel. You'll get wise enough next week!"
😂
Maybe they wanted to bust his buddy out 😂
This is a surprisingly effective multi-purpose trap.
This is a sensible and helpful comment.
nice pfp 👍

This is the ONLY channel where you will hear a skunk referred to as a "staff member"... :)
Pepe le Pew: Enters the chat
Some of the people I work with I swear could be skunks as well 🤢😖
Seeing Shawn running away was Hilarous AF.

Same for me, also two years ago. Managed to get 3 in a bucket with water and didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Wonder how that went
The racoons where like “lol look at this skunk he got trapped what a scrub”
Nah, I think they wanted to bust his buddy out
love how the raccoons came back at the end to taunt the skunk after it was caught
looks like he chewed on the rat while in there
What else did he have to do?

"Another great episode of Mousetrap- I mean, Skunktrap Monday-"
I don't know why that made me smile so much

Rocky Racoon, "What ya doin' in that tube Flower?" Not Flower ,"My name's not FLOWER! Stop calling me that!"
Lol bambi
3:11 wow... that mouse jump away even before the door fully closed, thats a lighting speed reflex
I let the ads on your channel run through completely for support while Im making a snack.

Shawn - what I don't understand is, after all these years of catching mice and rats, there are STILL so many in your barn!?
Like many a Fox hunt...perhaps Shawn allows them to breed in ''Close Season'' to keep the numbers up!..But I thought that...Always a good supply in the barns.
Allmost as infested as LA or NY.

Cute guinea pigs! I had 4 in the family when I was young... They are great pets for kids.
They are also tasty hehe
They taste great 👍🏼
Love how Oreo looks back at the boy, when set in front of the trap, as if saying: "oh God, not this again."
I had one of these. A very effective squirrel trap. Get them every time. Easy to clean with the hose.
Damn, when the rat jumped I burst laughing! Lol
8:24 "It's a good staff member from mouse trap monday" (about the skunk)
Paid actor confirmed! I always knew!
2:25: I love to see rats crawling around. I also love to hear their cute squeaks and to see them fighting with each other.
I love to see you trying to get a good tumbnail lol
Same

I think he almost always keeps what he catches with live traps.
I like how the trap caught a bait for the target animal to catch
Omg when the rat jumped it looked like it got his head cut off
Did he at least eat the dead rat while he was trapped in there?
Check the nasty remains at the end...so yes!
@@jfakoggl decent 👍🏼
That 🦨 skunk must be grateful it got a hotel and food that night that’s why it didn’t want to leave lol. The review was so good the skunk 🦨 spared you of getting sprayed. 😂

Hi Shawn! Thanks for all of your videos! :)
3:07 that rat popped a wheelie trying to escape!
The raccoons are such characters. They are really fun to watch. They wanted that rat but of course couldn't figure out how to get to it, and then when they came back and the skunk was in there that one raccoon reared up like what stinks!? Too funny.

Love to see your kids and their pets! They're going to grow up to be just like their daddy. ❤️
Raccoons, Guinea pigs, skunks, rats, bot flies, and Shawn - My day is complete!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Omg the thumbnail footage had me dying, simply hilarious😂😭love the good work Master Baiter Shawn
11:15 Is that what's remaining of the rat corpse after he dumps out the remaining contents of the bait Shawn used with the skunk trap?
Ew
Yes
The raccoons laughing at the skunk is hilarious 😊
Whoever disliked the video was so amazed by your good work that they accidentally pressed the dislike button and then they accidentally clicked of the video and couldent find the video anymore
Plot twist: the Raccoons set up that trap and are now using the Skunk as a pet for future Skunktrap Monday
Skunk trapping videos always make me think of the "skunk butt rug" conversation in the Zootopia movie.
That rat got yeeted
Dont even have skunks here in the UK still great to watch!
1:40
I skipped a bit and thought u were trying to trap the child lol
1. your son is adorable
2. your guinea pigs are also really adorable
It’s like the racoons came after the skunk got captured only to mock it
i know that skunk was super scared when he saw all those raccoons pull up
Test Guinea pigs? Ahh classic!
Great wildlife documentary series plus humorous subject. Nice job filming!
Good skunk never leave until his supper is finished 😂
Skunk: I live here now!😂
*Raccoons when they saw the skunk trapped:* lol what an idiot
Your raccoons must have been awfully confused when they couldn't get the rat they thought you left them.
I am Pepe Le Pew, your lover." "You are my peanut, I am your brittle!" "Ah, my leetle much ado about somezing. [kiss, kiss]. Ah, my leetle lost labor's love.
Awesome . very good video Shawn .
lmao.....that skunk had you worried...really awesome vid glad youi didnt get sprayed
So brave! Thumbnail photo a winner.
those gray rats deserve a 24/7 live stream.. they look social lol
That little flip at the end. 😂
8:42 I'm laughing so hard right now XD
Excuse me this was uploaded 2 seconds ago how is there a dislike already
PETA.
@@174b9 So you think they set up a bot or something?
@@EnraEnerato Joke. But dislike bots do exist.
Gotta be the rat that got away.
Some ppl think it's bots which I think it is too cuz who would not like this
I have the Skunk and more 8" version, it's similar. Great traps. Although I put them down with a CO2 chamber.
I’m subbing because your so chill and calm man if you receive hate don’t listen to them you are doing good work out here
Skunk: Ummm.... you Raccoons gonna help me, or what???
It would be cool if you tried a “bal chatri” hawk trap
Saw a video by accident now I'm hooked on this.
At 9:35 I thought he was going to say ‘this isn’t working so what I’m going to do is kick the trap as violently as possible’
2:26
Rats:??? What’s this
Rat:this is war
Skunk: *Gets caught*
Also Skunk: *Its free real estate*
Man....He devoured that rat while in captivity
Awww those guinea pigs are soooo cute.
0:02 Say goodbye Mouse head
6:39.
lol the racoons
"Aww, did the stinky man get trapped?"
As a owner of guinea pigs for over a decade now, I will never get tired of seeing their confused looks😂
I have a number of about the same trap I made out of 12" PVC water line ( Blue Pipe )
I have 2 pipes , 1 at each end one on each side to drive rod through
That keeps raccoons from rolling the traps over , we have to control the numbers of raccoon from damaging our field corn
IMO that would be a good upgrade to that trap
I use a long piece of twine and a "short gin pole" on the front of the trap to lift the door for a safe scent free release
Shawn: tries to coax the skunk out
Skunk: but sir you gave me a cool new house and free food, I don't wanna leave :(
You should use the skunk to catch something bigger like a wolf or a coyote, then the coyote to catch a bear, then the bear to catch a moose, then the moose to catch an elephant
