Lol, no, just Black Bears. In Manitoba, a high percentage of our Black Bear population consists of colour phase specimens...brown, blonde, chocolate, cinnamon, etc...but AFAIK there has been only one documented Grizzly in the province, which was caught on a trail camera set up outside of a cabin in the far north...not far from where I work, coincidentally...
Whenever I hear the grizzly bear mentioned i automatically just think of the bear attack scene in "The Revenant", with Leonardo Di Caprio.
It is frighteningly realistic, totally brutal. Ugghh.
Good to hear the skunks left on their own. As far as laws pertaining to trapping nuisance animals on your property, check with your local state wildlife officer/game warden. True that animals that are relocated may not "fit in" in their new locations, many factors can influence this. And keep in mind that animal control and businesses that trap nuisance animals release them in other areas -no different than you doing it. Also, businesses that remove animals for a fee may convince uninformed citizens that only they can remove animals.
If you do need to trap skunks in the future, use a suitable sized live trap. I have used canned sardines as bait with success in the past. With skunks, make sure you cover the trap with a tarp or blanket. Key is to keep the trap covered so their can't see you. Much less likely to spay if they can't see a target.

Lol, and it returned on its own tonight! I thought I heard something outside and there it was. I'm not sure it's the same one, it looked bigger, but it did try to gain access through the same vent. It's weird I think I counted 3 dead skunks on the road today.
