A Smelly Trap
We doubt that you will be surprised to learn how bad a skunk can smell when they are out in the open. When they are trapped and afraid, they exhale an unpleasant odor. This will frequently give trappers a heads-up on what has transpired before they even notice it.
A Smelly Trap
The scent of the spray is so strong that you can detect it from a long distance. Skunks are also armed with razor-sharp fangs and claws that can inflict considerable injury. Even deceased ones have the potential to wreak significant damage!
Something Odd
After the bear and the double whammy, there’s one more strange catch to be made. When I was younger, I remember a trapper using a coyote trap to catch a bald eagle. A hiker in Juneau, Alaska, came across the bald eagle while walking through the woods. She snapped a snapshot of the strange catch, but it was later released by the authorities.
Something Odd
Throughout this heroic story, you will be amazed at how things turn out. When the eagle was saved, the individual who saved it was later prosecuted for interfering with someone’s trap. She agreed to pay a $500 fine in recognition of his heroism. Afterwards, she appeared in court, but the judge dismissed her case since they were appreciative of what they’d done. Another negative aspect is that they must put down the bird due to the damage it sustained as a result of being caught in the trap.
