I did ONCE!Skunk dug them all up including the plants. If I burry them now I use a post hole digger and put them down a couple of feet. The other night the dogs were barking at some thing so I got my big flash light. There was a skunk about 50 feet from the dog run.I accidently caught one by the front foot in a trap set for a chipmunk a couple years ago. I thought the gal coming down the road was going to drive into the woods when she saw carrying the skunk by the trap chain with my old trapping hook to the woods across the road to dispatch it.
