Great Horned Owls & Striped Skunks

Striped Skunks do have predators other than Great Horned Owls (bobcats, foxes and coyotes-fishers have been known to prey on skunks, but very infrequently), but these predators have to be pretty desperate before they will prey on a skunk. Automobiles and disease kill more skunks than all of...

Befriend the skunk, learn its ways, earn its trust, and then when it leads you back to its family you kill them all.

According to your link, "Automobiles and disease kill more skunks than all of their predators put together". So he just

Skunks are relatively easy to trap. I don't know about drowning it, though. Wouldn't it release it's spray when it dies?

Skunk cages are designed to prevent the skunk from spraying.
