My grandpa did that once (the skunk was rummaging around in the trash heap when grandpa came upon it). Grandma never could get the smell out of his clothes, so they just buried them out in the field.

That story is still told to this day whenever his descendants get together. 🙂

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

I'd use a nonlethal cage trap. Good luck after that, maybe animal control?

No. Drowning them in the cage is a very common tactic.

Skunk cages are designed to prevent the skunk from spraying.
