re: anyone here ever caught a skunk, tips needed

I read on the webz that the best way to kill them was to drown them. I have the trap draped with a blanket to keep from getting sprayed, and i have a rope tied to the trap. Im planing on throwing him in the pond to drown him. They dont recommend relocating them due to the rabies issue. If all else falls, I may need to borrow a Judge and deliver one to his face
