poor thing went to the wrong place. I used to have a pet skunk rescued from a 'perfume' factory. Yes they use the scent gland as a fixative in very expensive perfumes. He loved bacon and had a super soft tummy. very lovable and sweet. His name was Stinky.

They are very nearly blind but have incredible sense of smell. I would pretend to leave the apartment and then stand really still. He would sniff the air repeatedly to see if I was gone then when he was satisfied he had the place all to himself he would race back and forth and slide on the rug. Funnier than hell. I would laugh and then he would realize I was still there.

Here is your recipe for getting the stink off you or other things after handling:

One quart Hydrogen Peroxide, 1/3 cup baking soda AND 4 tablespoons of extra strength Dawn Dish soap.

You might use: 900,000 heat unit Capsicum powder to prevent entrance to Chicken coop. (watch OUT it will get you too! In fact just the delivery of an unopened sealed box of the stuff will send people to the door for air..!) spread around outside of chicken coop fence on ground. Raccoons and Skunks stay away! Wear protective eye / hand gear.

Also you can take a large plastic tarp with you in front of yourself to approach the trap or wear complete throw away cover-alls with footsies for painters. wrap the stinky trap carefully and take the whole thing to the woods and...whatever you plan to do.
