You can't keep them out of your traps. All you can do is adjust your pan tension so that a skunk won't fire the trap but a heavier canine will. Just keep resetting, skunks tend to get out and travel earlier than coons and K-9's in my experience. They are usually the first ones to the trap. You will catch them all in the area in a few days and be done with that mess.
Re set every trap you catch a skunk in. There is no better call lure for a coyote than skunk smell, they love it. Get rid of the skunk and reset. Coyotes will come to investigate.

I have had the same problem, I just make the best of the situation I skin them and then eat them. you can sell the hides, or trade them for traps, thats what I do.
Dont know if that was any help to u but there u have it!
