Raccoons are in many parts of the US and you should always secure your birds. That in no way means that you should let the ones terrorizing your flock to get away just because there are quote TONS of them. Ammunition is much cheaper to buy by the case than replacing even a few prized hens. You should have the most secure coop possible but in no way does that mean you should not pull the trigger in a coon in your yard. In fact coon skin is a wonderful way to make hats, gloves and warm weather covers so do yourself and the chickens a favor and kill them every time. Never try to trap and release you are just making your predator problem someone else's predator problem.
