With a conibear trap, that option does not exist.
I have learned you can catch wood chucks without bait.
just locate near a burrow/den, they are curious and walk right in.
Try it, you will be surprised.
I just hate it when I catch a skunk, it is never an odorless situation.

Funny you mention the pole cat. A few years ago, I had it set with no bait. My trusty sidekick decided to corner one right into the trap. I quickly learned how to remove it without much stink. Other than what the dog caught. Walk to the trap with a tarp in front of you and cover it. Then you can can carry it out to an open spot and take care of business with out much stink.
