Can you illustrate ?if you continue to have the issue and cant catch the coon in a trap, my method of last resort involves a heavy block of wood at least 6"x6" drill a 1 1/2 inch hole a bit over half of the way through the block. Drive 6-8 nails at about a 10-15 degree angle in a circle around the hole you just drilled so the the points face into the hole making about a 1inch circle. Anchor, Bait with a small hard ball (just smaller or equal to the size of the hole) coated with honey or peanut butter and wait for the racket. Go outside 1 shot and it and you are out of your misery.
The idea is to allow the raccoon to reach into the hole for the juicy treat, they grab it and when their paw balls into a fist they cant pull it past the nails without getting jabbed. The WILL NOT let go of the ball. you have them stationary where you can shoot them.
