Thanks for all responses. My plan is to purchase one Hav A Heart trap
at the tractor store. Catch a coon per night and give them a ride to
my work site each morning. Open the trap in the parking lot and run.
If this turns out to be fun, I'll share the experience.
Regards,
STOVEBOLT

In Oregon coons are a game animal and protected. You have to get a permit
to trap them. Trapping and releasing elsewhere is illegal. Spreads
disease. Better to kill them. Hide properly prepared is worth a few
dollars. They can be eaten. How will you handle trapping a skunk?

Most states have hunting and trapping laws. Killing pests on your own
property is is not considered either. Where I used to live and due to a
rabies scare, any raccoons out in the daytime in residential areas were
assumed to be sick and were destroyed by local police or animal control
officers. Residents had to use something other than firearms to kill
them (except beating them to death, which was considered cruelty, and
punishable). It was an automatic death sentence for any raccoon that had
insomnia. :-)
The heads of destroyed animals had to be sent to the Health Department
for rabies determination.

Jar of peanut butter works well for bait.

Moving a raccoon a few miles is no problem for them. They can be back
at your hose and a known food supply within a day or 2. I have a
neighbor that trapped over 50 before he became aware he was trapping
the same animals over and over.
