Please do not relocate him. If you're not going to kill it, don't bother trapping it. Relocation is illegal in many states because of the threat of spreading diseases like rabies and distemper from one place to another. It also does not do any good for the animal you have relocated. You're dropping it off in what's likely the territory of another raccoon that will likely try to fight it off, possibly seriously injuring or even killing it. The relocated animal has to find food and water sources and a home. It's in foreign territory so it has to find its way. If you dump it off near other people, you are now making your trap-wise animal someone else's problem. I don't appreciate people dumping off animals "out in the country" where I live. I have enough to deal with for predators without dealing with yours.
What state are you in? In most every state a trapping license allows you to kill the animal too since that's what's done with the animals that have been trapped. You can't sell a fur from a live animal. Even though trapping coons may be out of season at the moment where you're at, in most cases you're allowed to kill animals threatening livestock even without a hunting license which is what happened to you. Maybe check with the your local Game and Fish first but I'm sure there'll be different rules for depredation than hunting. Nuisance trappers/pest control people remove and euthanize pests like coons all the time without a hunting license. If you don't want to kill him that's totally fine - your choice, but like the others said, please don't trap him if you're planning to release him. That's a bad scene all the way around. Just my opinion but that coon did do something wrong - he killed your bird. All predators everywhere are only doing what they're programmed to do but we have to protect the animals under our responsibility too - that's a chicken keepers instinct just like a sheep herder protects his stock from coyotes.
