So I left out some starling and sparrow carcasses by my trash can last night. Came out today and all that was left was wings and feathers.
Coon or possum? What ya think?

That could easily be the neighbors cat. One year we were on an overnight duck hunting trip and left the days bag in the back of the truck on a good layer of fresh snow. In the morning we had cat tracks in the back of the truck and he'd eaten a limit of ducks minus the wings.

As far as the skunks go I back off about 20 yds. from the trap and shoot them in the kill zone with the .25 Marauder. If you shoot them in the head they generally release their stink. I've also slowly walked up to the trap talking to them in a soft voice and gently covered the trap with a towel and then picked up the trap (it has a handle) and gently lowered it into a big tub of water. So far so good.

Your a brave man! I won't go near them. Shooting, even a lung shot has them spraying sometimes. I did use the acetone injection on a long pole and that seemed to work. Plan never to shoot any of them near where I will spend any time.

No, your right I have had them spray even with a kill zone shot but that's why I stay about 20 yds. away and I have no neighbors behind me. And I do pay attention to the wind just in case. Maybe I'm not a brave man just stupid maybe, but so far it's worked.

Tannerite for skunks. Bait them to a nice bucket full of the stuff and shoot it. Vaporize them AND their spray gland. Coyotes will clean up the mess!

Skunks run in family units. You can kill one and the next evening they'll usually send a search party for their missing sibling.
Here is a video doing it with hogs
caution: not for the faint of heart and I honestly don't condone it, I was being facetious as usual.

I've live trapped many a skunk they can't pee if they can't lift their tail up...just make sure the trap isn't too big, I usually take them out in the woods in my pickup bed put the tailgate down get in the body and open the door facing out at the edge of the tail gate. Sometimes they move so fast you can't see em go. Works good for coons to but you usually have to shake them out of the trap.
