First off, happy birthday!
 #110 is probably on the small size for skunk, but I guess it can be done. I'd personally use something along the lines of a #160 or 220.

bud ive been using 110's for bout 3 or 4 years, the 110 is 50 50, ive coght opposums that were cleanly killed that were huge and small ones that where still alive without any harm done to them, id say use them in my opinoin as long as it catches it its good with me. so id use it for old stinkers

awsome, but make sure its a sturdy bucket before u chop out a nick to put the spring in. i ddid that and it was a crappy bucket and it split right down the middle, use old fish or ham or rotten bannans for bait, in fact i cought my first opposum with a rotten bannana. oh and make surethe bait in the oppinging is facing the wind so they can smell it from a long way. if the bucket set doesnt work than use a brick cubbie set

What you are talking about works fine, but in about 9 out of 10 sets the skunk will still release and you will have that lovely odor around.
If it is near your dwelling I would suggest a skunk size live trap and then the skunk will not be able to lift its tail to release. Once caught drop the whole trap into a tank of water or a pond and drown it. Presto.....No smell.

Skunk Coni's
I would and do use the #160. I find that when caught in a 160 bodytrap ... sometimes the skunk will spew, and somtimes it won't. But every skunk I have caught in the #220 has spewed. Largely due to the area of the jaws ... they will grab farther down towards the skunks belly, instead of just behind the head like the #160. I guess the #220 is squeezing the stuffin out of 'em ... for lack of a better way to put it.
