You need to make sure trapping is legal where you live. However, IF it's legal This trap is outstanding (by report ). The only caveat is, there is no option of catch and release; the raccoon will have to be dispatched.
I am a fur trapper and have released hundreds of live coons over the years from footholds. Mostly because they had lesser quality hides. All u need to do is hold em down wit a stick or ur boot.grabe them by the scruff with a good pair of gloves. Then you can release them, and put them in a sack or cage or on a rope, whichever training method u prefer. A live trap is a lot easier and less stressful on u and the coon though. Lol
They actually can be released ... Not sure why someone would want to though ...

Or ... You could use one of these release sticks ... http://www.fntpost.com/Categories/Trapping/Animal+Handling+Equipment/Animal+Release+Sticks/
But ... I'd just shoot it!
So much raccoon hate up in here! We have frequent raccoon visitors that like to tease the cat and dogs, and yes, have destroyed our flock before. That was when we were rather naive. Didn't even occur to me that something would reach through the bars of a cage, silly me lol. Even after many beheaded chickens and stolen cat food, I still love raccoons. They're one of my favourite animals. They're ridiculously smart and very handsome; whether or not you can appreciate that is another story.
I personally think we humans hate what we think can beat us. It's always the smart animals that outfox us and make us pull out our hair lol.
The key is just using your noggin. Build strong from the beginning, don't try to strengthen a weak coop after you lose birds. They ARE just another hungry animal, not scheming murderous masterminds.
