Coons do come out during daylight hours. I had one kill a bunch of ducks after 8:00 and shortly thereafter I seen a whole coon family out and about at 9:52 a.m. If you catch and release, you have just made a trap-wise coon that can be almost impossible to catch in a hav-a-hart trap. I've tried everything. Now someone recommended an egg-trap. I googled it and am going to get a few. Theory on it is sound.

i have a neighbor across the street who has rid the neighborhood of all of the coons we used to see. he used a trap and sent them to a early release on life. the guy gets a few eggs once a week.

I have a Turkey Vulture feeding station out in my back pasture. Raccoons make good eaten for Turkey Vultures. You take you give. Of course if you have no big pature, dig a deep hole in the garden where you will plant your tomatos next spring. Makes for great tomatoes. Chickens love the tomatoes sort of a sweet justice! I love Raccoons they bring adventure to life.
