HHR&WPC&SWW Varmint problems

It seems as though our fair facility has been assaulted in the past few weeks by various and sundry evil-doers in the form of 'coons, skunks, possums, 'dillos and on the outer fringes of the criquet field, feral hogs.
I have attempted to alleviate said problem by direct (patrols every 2-3 hours during the nocturnal hours) and indirect (live traps) methods. There has been some success with the direct methods but until last night my live trapping efforts have been futile.
Said evil-doers thwarted my live trapping by stealing the bait from the outside and tripping the gate closed.
After much deliberation, I arrived at the solution; Pantyhose and Sardines!!
I dangled the sardines inside the pantyhose on the inside of the trap. Success!!

Now, does anybody have any suggestions on getting a very agitated skunk out of a live trap without having to spend the next 2 weeks in a tomato juice bath?
 
I am almost certain Goob would hire out on such a thing provided you have secured the funds a man of his stature would require on said endeavor.

Yeah, we are working on the fire control & aiming aspects now. We are having difficulty with the hard points also. I really think we should just call Puff the Magic Dragon in for a few passes and then use our little gunship for cleanup.
 
Mr. Fajitapeta, I don't think that the shooting is the problem. There are a lot of folks who will shoot the hogs anytime they see one. The problem is seeing them. You may see 15 or 20 run across the road in front of you, but by the time you pull out the old .30, you may get the last 1 or 2 in the line, but all the rest get away. Then by the time they are seen again, 2 or 3 have pigged and there are 15 more than the last time they crossed over in front of you. The aerial assault is the way to go if it can be done for an extended period of time before the humane society folks find a way to stop it.
 
Fajita, you don't have enough ammo to rid us of the hogs. Our deer hunters shoot them year round and haven't made a dent in the population.
I literally opened my back door, took one step and shot a 350# sow that had 8 shoats with her.
 
All quiet on the western front... no critters caught but no damage to yard. call that a draw. Maybe the dear (and I do mean dear) hunter's dove hunting efforts are curtailing the nocturnal visits.
 
I had several box traps when I was a kid.
Loaned one to a friend who caught a skunk.
It was several days before I got back over to his house.
The skunk was so dehydrated by that time,
I just propped up the door.
It s l o w l y staggered out.
We let it get far enough away from the house
then blasted it.

Regarding hogs
it'll take someone like Jack Bauer
to shoot them for 8 seasons
before they're all gone.
 
Besides job hunting every day,
I watched all 8 seasons
of 24 on netflix.
Chloe was JackBauer's only friend that survived?
I wonder what would happen
if Rainjac mosied up to him after a game?
