A refinery I was in had a whole family of coons trap themselves in a metal dumpster that was almost empty. Had probably been in and out of it repeatedly when it wasn't as empty.
Racoons got my pet duck

My brother caught a raccoon,, and threw it in a 5000 bushel grain bin.
This is the corrugated steel bin that is screwed together.
There is no ladder inside the bin.
The only exit was the fill hole in the roof of the round bin.
The next morning, the raccoon was gone,,
A raccoon can get out of a 4 foot deep steel trash bin,, a 3 foot barrel would be no challenge at all,,
No one EVER figured out how the raccoon got out of the grain bin,,,,,,,,

A quote from one of my brother's elderly neighbors. " I don't know why they call this a live trap, not a single one has survived being thrown off my dock while in it!"
CCI CB Shorts are the answer. Deadly as any .22 at backyard ranges and out of a rifle, like they are loaded with hushaboom. Thanks to the floating chamber, they also function and cycle flawlessly through a Remington 550-1.

CCI 22 Quiets are LESS noise that a pump up Benjamin 22 pellet rifle. When Quiets first came out a buddy and I found and started using them for “ critter control” in town. We mentioned them at a gun club meeting and most there said” yea, right no way”. I invited six of them to the house. Had my trusty Benjamin pump up and Ruger 10/22. Shot 2 times into big oak tree with the Benjamin and asked them did you clearly hear the sound. They agreed so then fired 2 Quites single action into same tree. They were speechless and said they were going to buy some on the way home. BTW, Quiets are less noise from longer barrel 22 rifles.
I had 2 coons as pets back in 50’s and early 60’s and they are the best pet one can have. Mine sat in my old baby high chair at out table and ate with us, never tried to climb on table. He rode on my shoulder when riding my bike down country roads. He would even sleep in my bed and was house broken. Have to get them as kits before their eyes are open or very shortly after. Some states give permits to have them and other totally ban ownership. Remember the vet we took him to saying he was the best behaved animal he had. When he “ became of age” Dad told me we had 2 choices, get him fixed or let him go. Let him go but he came back with his wife and kits one snowfall looking for food as all their footprints were on the back steps. He also came back and saw him at the top of his favorite tree in the back yard. Naturally he would not come down so left him a pile of treats on the ground.

Caje, sorry about your friend. I bought a 22 cal pellet rifle at Cabella's that uses the new nitrogen compressing pump instead of a spring. It has more power than a CB cap and comes with a scope and a sound suppressor. I am sure it would be lethal on Racoon although it might take an extra shot or two. But vendettas are about pain

I do NOT suffer from mental health issues, as a matter of fact I rather enjoy it! Please read a little tongue in cheek into my posts-it will generally calm you down. Sheesh!
Agreed, you need to avoid traps other than live traps if you live anywhere near neighbors who may have pets that could even remotely wander into your yard. Or small children for that matter if you are considering poison on things like marshmallows, ginger snaps, peanuts, etc.
That’s how it usually works with alligator removal in Florida state parks. Once a gator gets over about 6 feet it starts to become a threat and they call in folks to remove and relocate it.
Some of them might actually relocate it, but unless it’s specifically in the contract and observed by a ranger it’s far more likely to get a bullet in the head as soon as it’s out of the park.
I realize that I am usually a not so popular hunting ethics nazi, but it speaks poorly when anyone feels it’s ok to kill an animal in a less than quick and humane manner.
Unfortunately way too many people today lack ethics and have the mistaken belief that “if it’s legal, it’s ethical”. That’s not how it works ans the lack of ethical behavior is how we get increasingly restrictive hunting regulations as regulators step in to accommodate and mitigate the actions of people who lack the common sense, discipline or ethics to regulate their own behavior.
If all y’all don’t get that then here’s hoping that those of you who don’t, ultimately get what you give. It’s pretty much how life works anyway.

Either someone let him out or he used the screws and the over lap ledges. They can not fly
There is absolute nothing to trash in a empty barrel or a dumpster
I would vote for any judge who would do exactly these things. Reminiscent of Phantly Roy Bean Jr.
Four feet is the guideline. They are seldom "relocated." It just causes further problems. From FL FWC:

1) You are a lawyer
2) you collect Smith and Wessons
3) You are on this forum
I would not be bragging about your mental health (I share all of the same symptoms)
Made any new hats lately Caje? Could be a market for them at your local Rendezvous....

Get a cougar, bobcat or coyote.
Take a 5 gallon plastic bucket with a lid. Use a 1 1/2" hole saw to make a hole in the very center of the lid, Make about a dozen cuts radiating out about 3" from the hole. Stick something tasty to the bottom of the bucket and toss in a bell before putting the lid back on and run some duct tape around it to hold it securely. When you hear the bell going nuts, go out and dispatch the coon that is stumbling around, not being able to see because his head is stuck in the bucket. Never tried it on coons, but it works on coyotes even without the bell as they don't go very far like that. But a coon might be able to work the bucket of better than a yote.
