Why won't my soul gems fill? : V

I kill an animal, and I use soul trap on it, but it doesn't fill my gems?

Soul trap before he dies?

Soul trap first, then kill animal.

Also have a stone big enough for said animal/creature/monster/boss.

you must soul trap before they die. all soul trapping dead bodies do is increase your conjuration skill.

Oh, and if they have red hair, soul trap doesn't work.

maybe you have a black soul gem

You must cast the spell kill the creature, you must also have the appropriate soul gem for the creature or person. You must kill them before the soul trap effect wears off.

Actually, I've run into this problem as well (I assume a bug). Have had empty Grand and Greater gems in my inventory, yet get the message: "no soul gem large enough" or w/e.
