Usually 24-36 hours or thereabouts.

@@SouderStationFarm Thanks for this knowledge that should be useful in the future. Appreciate the excellent video demonstration.

It's pretty straightforward, but even a "best practices" or something to that effect wouldn't hurt, and would help reinforce good husbandry practices overall. There's certainly plenty of bad examples out there, unfortunately.

People lived comfortably for thousands of years?

No you want allow it to drain as needed. It heals remarkably fast

😀

You can certainly do it when they're older, but it's easier when little. Especially if you're by yourself. Best of luck!

:)

A better option, if possible, is ditching the traps altogether. Instead, fence off the perimeter of the lean to, install a one way door, and after the skunk has left remove the one way door and seal things up.. They make one doors for skunk/raccoon size wildlife for just this problem.

It can definitely help!

I agree

If you open the trap door it'll be able to leave the trap.

@SouderStationFarm I should have been more concise. How can I do these things without getting sprayed by the skunk?

​@@nhwnhw02OH right, my bad. Wrap the trap and have patience. I've got a video about it here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eobXiKeMgtmGjqsfeature=shared

Thanks! I hope it helps :)

@SouderStationFarm Yes! Most definitely!! 🙏😊

No problem at all. I'm not endorsed or sponsored or anything like that, but WCS carries this line of grub bait that is highly skunk specific. www.wildlifecontrolsupplies.com/animal/WCSRE22.html I'll add it to the description next to our affiliate links to traps for other folks looking for a place to start. Best of luck.

You bet!

Some grub lure or sweet smelling skunk lure.

You can pick up commercial skunk lures right online. Usually they are sweet smelling or a liquid grub lure works well.

I posted this for someone else as well, and added it to our description for other folks who are curious. Here is a link to the Skunk Grub Lure I use. www.wildlifecontrolsupplies.com/animal/WCSRE22.html The Grub Lure is highly skunk specific and makes an incredible trailing scent to lure skunks into your trap. Hope this helps. (This is not an affiliate link. We have some in our description, but this is just a good product and a good business to work with.)

@@SouderStationFarm thank you so much!!!

Not for the intake. You'll need a rigid hose for the intake, or it'll collapse due to the suction.

@@SouderStationFarm thats what i thought, just wanted to make sure. Thank you for your response. Appreciate it.

lol

That's a good question, and I'm not sure on the answer. You might be able to reach that far with one pump, but it'll probably be reduced output. What about filling a big stock tank on a trailer and running a DC sprayer. Lots of setups for spraying crops with fertilizer. Then you could just drive down the length of the track and spray as you go?

How much time do you want it to take? I’ve been using a 2 inch pump twice weekly for about 3 hours a go for the last 10 years so I’ve figured out about how much they can do

If you cut you'll need a second hand. If you pull them out they typically tear at the weakest attachment point inside. I've read in the past that there's less chance of internal infection as the severed tube heals faster than a cut one, as well as most of the tube is removed when it's pulled. When it's cut there is a little bit of tube left behind that could potentially cause infection as the body shunts it away. Either way, we've never had any issues and it doesn't require a second step in the process. Best of luck, it's way easier on everyone doing things early and quick. :)

It's way more powerful than we expected!

How far can these pump with a little pressure at the nozzle? I'm trying to water a small motocross track, the pond will be 150 yards away, and another 200 yards of track length. If I ran 2 pumps, and relay pumped, could I cover this distance efficiently?

Not sure, we got them from an old farmer that said they were predominately landrace and Yorkshire

That seems like an odd size.

@@SouderStationFarmvery

Is there a difference in the thread type?

It's hard to say without seeing what you're working with. I went with a 2" barbed fitting to connect direct to the pump and then barbed quick connect fittings for simplicity. If you can send some pics or share a video of what you're trying to make work we can try and figure it out.

Once the babies are mobile you could seal off the shed and install a one way door so they can leave the shed but not get back inside. They'll move along soon enough

Yup! There's holes in the housing so you can screw it to things and mount it however you need.

Thank you!

Absolutely! Just remember ventilation is important, as it is in any structure. But hoophouse works great for multi-stacking options. :)

Glad you enjoy it!

It's typically only from intact boars, and it'd be rare to find it in a commercial setting. It's pretty distinct. If you're having consistent issues I'd look at how the animals are being raised and consider a pasture raised farm raising olanimals outside close to home as a good first option.

@@SouderStationFarm rare to find it in a commercial setting?. i wish that was the case but it isnt many times through the years ive had to chuck it out its like playing russian roulette you cook your dinner then taste the pork and it has that weird taste, i think it might have something to do with buying cheap priced meat from cheap supermarkets.

@@Blobby192 I think you may be right!

wait a minute.

PREDATOR 2 in. 212cc Gasoline Engine Semi-Trash Water Pump - 158 GPM

Wasteful! :/

Thanks!

I haven't tried mud and leaves on purpose. I feel like you'd bind something up potentially. I only used it with the screen on the end of the intake hose which keeps out big debris

Get a trash pump if you want to do leaves, the semi trash pump will clog up.

The blade's locked in place when it's open, as there are detents in the cam. Is your saw different?

I thought foxes took them for food? I KNOW raccoons don't, they're evil little shits 😡

Totally agree

Yes they do!

Oh that's a bummer. Is the inlet clogged? I feel like ours has either had no pressure or super high pressure. I think the only time I saw reduced pressure was probably gunk piling up around the inlet basket and reducing flow overall. Maybe it's something else though?

Its your first time using it. Maybe you just need to turn up the throttle ?

Make sure your inlet hose has a good seal, might be losing suction.

How much head lift do you have?

As much as it needs. Some areas stay dry and fluffy, mostly where they sleep. Other areas they go to the bathroom, or it gets wet from rain or snow, so we add more. 3-6" of muck, then 3-6" of bedding. Or somewhere thereabouts. Enough to turn a wet spot into a dry spot, so it'll varying according to the conditions. :)

Theyre the best! ;)

🤣

Best of luck!

Thanks
