What's The Best Bait For Skunks ?

There's a skunk ( or more ) tearing open, and contaminating the horse
feed in my barn .... I can tell by the aroma .

From time to time I get 'possums or '***** playing that game and I've
had no trouble catching them in my live-trap . These "guys" aren't
reacting to the bait I normally use .

Got any ideas on what I should be using ? The food they're ruining
is to expensive for this to go on any length time .

The best fish type over all is stinky salmon eggs. We all have fish nets that we put in the Yukon for kings & chums. When we clean the fish, I always drop the egg roe sacks in their own buckets, seal type lid and either freeze or bury in the cold ground(perma frost). I alway shave 5-10 5 gallon buckets of eggs. We use for trapping marten, hang high in tree in bucket for bear, (they smell it for miles), and wire burlap bags to small brushy trees. It works way better than anything and actualy, they only bait I keep as an attractant. TRy it out.

Tonight I'm trying peanut butter .... last night it was apples ( sliced to cause more aroma ) .
What I found this A.M. was no apple slices, trap sprung, nothing inside .
I think I'm smelling skunk .... but, I haven't seen anything .

You said that. Six posts ago. I realize it was also two years ago, but it was only six posts. :p
