A Smelly Trap
We doubt that you are surprised to hear how terrible of a stink a skunk can make. When trapped and scared, they release an odor. This will often clue trappers in on what happened before they even see it.
The spray is so strong that you can smell it from miles away. Aside from that, skunks come with sharp teeth and claws that can cause serious injury. Even dead ones can cause a lot of damage!
Something Odd
Aside from the bear and the double whammy, there’s another odd catch. there was a time when a trapper caught a bald eagle using a coyote trap. The bald eagle was found by a hiker in the woods in Juneau, Alaska. She took a photo of this odd catch but they freed it afterward.
You won’t believe the turn of events in this heroic story. The person who saved the eagle was eventually punished for messing with someone’s trap. She paid a $500 fine for his heroic deed. After that, she went to court but the judge let her off because they appreciated what they did. Another bad thing is that they need to put down the bird because of the injuries it received from the trap.
