[Jolly Amaranto]

I have never had a problem. As long as they can't see you, they don't want to waste their jolly juice. I use a tarp or an old shower curtain held up to hide behind while I approach the trap. Drape it over the trap and grab the carrying handle through the shower curtain, haul it to the truck. Set it in the bed and make sure the curtain is tucked in well so it won't blow away. Drive to where I want to release it and put the trap on the ground with the curtain still covering it. Expose only the folding door and from behind reach around with gloved hands and release the catches for the door and raise it. Stick a piece of 2X4 under the door to hold it open and back away. It usually takes about a minute for the critter to saunter out and just keep on going. I think they are pretty confused by this point but don't feel threatened as long as they see their "escape route" open and clear. I have probably trapped and released 20 or so skunks at my home and up at the Armadillo Ranch. (They like to dig under the walls and set up house in the tractor barn.)
