If you think it's a skunk, you might get a skunk trap. It's basically a trap out of plastic pipe just small enough that the skunk can not lift his tail. Only one good way to empty it though...into a pond...at least that's what our conservation dept guy said. If you trap it in a regular trap, getting rid of it will be real interesting!

Or you can use a regular live trap. Just approach the trap slowly while holding a large tarp in front of you, hiding you from the skunk. When you get to the trap, slowly cover the trap with the tarp. Wait until skunk quiets down. Sink trap in a garbage can filled with water.

Animal control people I've talked to say that's the only way to dispose of a skunk without an "accident". Or you may get lucky, and the skunk is on "empty" after an earlier blast. It takes about two weeks to build up a full charge.
