I just googled Missouri regs, and apparently nobody cares where those trapped critters are released in this state. Amazing! It's still a very bad idea to relocate them.

Wow, what a catch. We just lost our beautiful 7 month old cockerel to a beast of a raccoon. They are sneaky and killed him in the most awful way, hope all birds are safe!
That is how it is supposed to be here. Of course there are sometimes exception in other places.Glad you got him!
Please don't release any raccoons, no matter how 'cute'! In most states, it's legal to release trapped varmits on your same property, or on private land within the same county with landowner permission. Nowhere else!

I agree. We are rural on a dead end road. We have had people that have released in our area. Once someone dropped off a gosling in our driveway probably because they either knew we raised chickens or saw our egg signs. (I know that's not a predator but was dropped off.) A neighbor would go to the local doughnut place and once overheard some fellows talking about skunks being relocated. In a two week period we dispatched around a dozen skunks.One night I caught 2 in one trap. No one ever asked for our permission.If you're not going to kill it, then don't trap it.
