I built this today to capture some agoutis that were destroying my pumpkin crop. Caught the first one in less than 30 mins. Great design, works like a charm
That is so cool! I caught 3 skunks at the same time. A mother and 2 little cute babies. I never kill the little buggers. I just drive them around the mountain a let them go. God Bless!!!
I like the simplicity of your trap. I understand it was made with materials you had on hand, but with that being said, I would recommend making it out of composite Azek to withstand the weather👍🏼
The diameter of the entry hole is 6 inches. You could make it a bit bigger if you want to trap raccoons. I was basically looking for a way to trap and re-home skunks.
Unless one intends to cause pain in the car the sliding door can have a stopper an inch from the bottom, so the cats tail doesn't get slammed or broken. They wouldn't be able to open it, and if they could, then I guess they get another chance.
Fantastic design. Just what I’m looking for. Simple but effective. Made of simple items that many people might have.
Thank you!

Best design I have ever seen. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
The hinged lid is a brilliant idea. I've seen them made as a wooden box with wire mesh back end and slate door.
Thank you! It's been working great for years now...
Works like a charm . 3 skunks already. Thanks
You are very welcome! Thanks for the feedback!

Yes. I ended up having to paint it which I suppose would be a deterrent for a critter with a discriminating sense of smell. Thanks!!!
Cool design👍
Thank you!!!
Nice model! I'll try to make one like that. 👍🏼
Sounds good! Thank you!!!
Nice trap! 👍
But, are you sure it was a skunk that you relocated, and not the neighbors cat...? 🤔 😅😂
the people 5 miles down the road thank you.
Lovely content! Keep it up!
Thank you very much!!!

You are very welcome! Thanks!!!
Very interesting!
Glad you think so!
Thank you. 🙏🕊
Welcome!
what size was the hole that was cut in the front?

Love it
Thank you!
Awesome
Thanks!
How about some dimensions
Just use what you have. Big enough for a skunk to get into. I would say without measuring it 10x10x24

Interesting thought. My beagle stuck his head in it once. He never tried it again... LOL Thanks!!!
