I trapped a whole family of skunks and relocated them a few miles from my house using the have a heart trap. I used dry cat food. Once in the cage I would come up from behind and put a towel over the cage and then transport them (just to be safe, in the back of a pickup). When I caught the mother, she was big. I opened up the trap to release her and she just sat there. I literally went over and tilted the trap downward so she would get out and when she started to move I dropped the trap and ran. But never an incident of spraying. They too were all living under our shed and would find a reason every night to spray right outside our bedroom with our fan running
