At 3 am an interstate means nothing to a coon they will travel 10-25 miles to a food source plus if the coon you relocate is diseased you just spread that disease to other animals coons can carry both K-9 and feline distemper, rabies, parvo etc plus be careful when handling them this is particularly nasty.

I bought a raccoon trap at TSC and have caught 5 coons already. It's illegal to relocate them but that's what I've been doing. I take them far enough away so they have to cross an interstate hwy and a couple major roadways if they want to come "home".
I usually use cat food and marshmallows which attracts them but the last time I just accidentally left the trap door open and one walked in without any bait at all. They're on the lookout for the chickens so I'm on the lookout for them.

Or you have cought the same raccoon 5 times.
