- This is how I get some of the odor out of a skunk that has sprayed.
21/2 gallons of warm water with dish soap
2 cups vinegar
1 cup baking soda
1 cup proxide
10 minute soak ("ish" if it really went off it might be need a few more minutes or put through twice)
3 gallons clean water to rinse, rinse twice
lol the colorado joke at the end had me rolling
:)
Thanks for the video currently have a skunk under the house the rental company too cheap to deal with it very frustrating
My grandfather was a farm boy who trapped skunks in Fulton County, Indiana, more than a hundred years ago.
Sometimes, when he went to school (one-room schoolhouses in those days), the teacher would have him sit in the back. I'm guessing he had a less-than-perfect technique in getting rid of the odor.
Nice job Aaron and thanks for sharing. Good luck my friend and may your wife let you back in the house.
Thanks Barry, she had the doors locked for awhile.....a little puppy dog eyes goes along way with her :)
Good video! If I ever catch a skunk, I will try this!
Thanks Garrett, hope you never catch one :)
Interesting. I had no idea you could get skunk smell out ever. Just subbed. You have a great channel.
I'm not sure you ever get it all the smell out, but it sure makes it a lot less... thanks for the sub and have a good one!
About how much vinegar, hydrogen, peroxide, and baking soda?
Great little fix... Thanks !
Thanks Gregg!....how you never have to use it :)
Good information, thanks for sharing.
It's not my favorite thing to do, but it sure makes skinning them more pleasant
backyardmeat I bet, lol
Lol, WA or CO... Cool video! I think it's near impossible to get all the smell out. Have you found a set to work better on a reset after a skunk? John.
I think you're the 1st one the get my CO-WASH joke....I thought it was funny:) They always smell even with a good wash, but this seems to make most of the smell go away once they are dry. I've never caught anything after a skunk besides another skunk or opossum. Everyone says it's a fox magnet but we don't have very many foxes around. thanks for checking it out
+backyardmeat use straight lemon juice ! fresh squeeze or buy about a gallon of that lemon juice concentrate !
Nice video man I tried skinning a skunk but just couldn't do it lol, take care bud
We this helps if you brave it again :)
Another Great Video Buddy That Pretty Neat there my friend how you gets the smell off the traps 5*****Stars and a Thumbs up.......
Thanks bud, I do it the same way as the skunk
I must have left mine in too long. It was fine for a long time, but turned brown over the course of a couple years.
+justlivin Use coleman fuel to clean it again rinse in clean distilled water the blow dry & brush the way you want & your good !
What kind of trap did you use, I couldn't see it? Have you tried conibears for skunks?
This was in a #3os duke. I do catch skunks with conibears I use a 120's or 155's in a box with anything stinky for bait and it works great. Just don't set these if there's any pets around
Very neat...Never seen it done like that before...How much do skunks go for, I always give them to my kids friend...
I think they are $3-5ish, All I had ever caught before this year was spotted skunks and they are more like $12-15 each.....everybody loves a free skunk:)
if you leave the lower lip and feet on people buy the spotted skunks on ebay for way more than then the fur buyers not sure what your state lets you do with them worth checking out
Kinda glad we don't have skunks around here ...lol but interesting process you use ..!!
I can send you a breading pair if you want, they are a cool animal besides the spaying part and make great house pets :)
backyardmeat Haha all I had to do is take them out & get them to spray around some of my sets, fresh lure ...lol
Pretty neat!
Thanks Rodney, It helps enough that it's worth do it
I finally caught the skunk that’s been eating my chickens this morning and it sprayed a lot hopefully this works.
Nice job wish I would have seen it last weekend. I caught one in a dp and my dad wouldn't let me get it out of the trap after I dispatched it. It just rained the other day which made it worse
Thanks for watching, the water by itself sure make them smell worse
What state is this?
that was interesting, do know how to remove the glands too?
Thanks, I've watched a few videos on how to remove the glands but haven't been brave enough to try
If you're skinning them, they are located om the left and right side of the anus. You just have to cut in a triangle around it. You go from ankle to ankle, then from the base of the tail cutting upwards.
i picked up a few skunks last year and froze them any tips on thawing them and keeping the smell down until i can skin them any tips would be great thank you for taking the time to share what you know with those of us who want to know great video thanks again
Personally I would defrost them all the way out so I knew where the scent gland are, sometimes thing aren't in the right place when they are still frozen.....only other tip is go slow around the glands and don't squeeze or pull to hard and the pelt or body
Phewww, you done got skunked
Once a week, whether I need it or not :)
They stink, but are a beautiful animal. My wife thinks I'm nuts, but I want to get a good double striped one to mount! I mounted a spotted once and it turned out pretty cool. Later
I agree, they are super cool looking. I just wish they didn't spray
I know this is an old comment but does the pelt eventually stop smelling after you mount it?
I caught one in the trap (stealing eggs) and id love to skin and pickle the hide but I don’t want to go through all the trouble if it’s never gonna stop smelling.
very nice
Thanks man
That's a good tip.
thanks man, do you guys have skunks that far north?
I caught 1 in 30 years of trapping.
now that's a good ratio
Does this process work on sprayed clothing? Just wondering..
I don't know why it wouldn't, I'm not sure if the peroxide would discolor it or not
+Damon Marcus nope only a fire works on clothing ! ! ! LOL
I have had skunks living under my back porch almost non stop for 5 years. I have tried EVERYTHING. I put chicken wire in ground they just dig longer n longer tunnels or dig in other spots. In a small neighbourhood that is 10 x 3 blocks we prob have 30 to 50 skunks. It seems to be unstoppable. Its in city limits so u cant shoot. Someone drowned 1 and it made the news that the person who did it was wanted for animal cruelty cuz he threw it alive in the cage in the river. But there are jus too many its part of life.
Good point
Thanks
wish I had seen this 2days ago, I got a pair of them stinking up the cellar now
It should still work, I think it's just a chemical reaction. It couldn't make them any worse :). Thanks for watching!
I have them on the boards already, think I could dunk em and reboard em ?
If they have started to dry I wouldn't. there's commercial skunk removers at pet stores that works too. You just spray it on the fur, it more expensive but in might make your cellar smell better
yes I checked some out at pet quarters, prob. have to go that route. I got your program for next time tho. Thanks
I cought a skunk the same way wasnt really after a skunk so I dispatched him n put him bck into the set n reset the trap, heard its the best fox lure
I've heard that too, we just don't have foxes in this area (or many at all) I have a set about 50 yards away so I'm hoping it will work to get a cat in the area
After this process, can you still accidentally cut the scent glands like a mink? If only Pepe le Pew knew this info he would've found a girlfriend!
:) .....they're a ticking time bomb,.... Haven't got blasted yet
You eat the skunk ?
No, they carry too many diseases
Is it dead
yes
But he suffered so much :(
It was in a hold trap so it wasn't suffering and this basically right in my backyard....if you ever have them in your backyard it might change your view
backyardmeat yea just dodged a bullet walking out my front door, the little fucker missed me by an inch but coated my whole front doorway area. It was hiding in the bushes so I sprayed it with a little WD40 and it ran off. Man Vs Beast! VICTORY
Nice!! I hope i never get sprayed by a skunck
It's a good goal to have :)
Great vid bro!!! If you shoot a skunk in the head I've found they spray about half the time but I shoot them in the lungs and have never had one spray. Maybe this will help brother. I love catching skunks I think they turn out really nice. But I'm kinda weird and I like the smell of skunk, muck to my wife's dismay!!!
Maybe I just a bad shot :), I actually think it might be because my pistol is so loud (short barrel). Maybe?....they make my ol lady real happy too
He is dead that's sad 🚨
...yes but my chickens are alive
