Part One- He's back, and he's pissed off.
Well would you look at this:
Ace in the hole? This is the non-lethal trap we are putting in the middle of the enclosure, which looks like so, by the way:
The trap will be placed in the center right next to that bird hotel(...that's right...hotel) with a couple of sardines at the far end. The trap is designed to catch a multitude of critters, most of which are smaller than a skunk. So to make sure our friend gets himself in all the way, the one door will be closed, that is the side where the sardines will be. In the middle is a plate where you're supposed to put the food, but we will not be doing that. Instead the one end of the plate will be propped up, so it can only be tripped from one end. The skunk can only spray if he gets his tail up, and that ceiling is too short to accommodate this function...we hope.
Sounds like a pretty decent plan, no? As far as the trap's effectiveness goes...well I guess we will just have to wait and see, now won't we...
Pat Two: Inconceivable!!!!
11:30pm
I have just checked the trap. It is intact, exactly where I left it. We left his hole uncovered and the security lamp unplugged...we want him out, not to be scared back in for the night.
I don't have a picture, but that little bastard just dug right around my newly reinforced fence! And by dug around, I mean he uncovered the buried end of the wire fence...and BENT it upward to get underneath it (a skunk needs 4 inches to get through...we've done our research). That beast is out there right now and there isn' t a damn thing I can do to keep him in. At night he could attack from any direction! He clearly is angered and won't go down without a fight.
New bait tomorrow...something with peanut butter.
He's goin' down. We'll cement his ass in if we have to!
And if all else fails:
Just um...ignore that part at the end...that won't happen to us.
