One way to trap raccoons is to put cat food and small marshmallow in a TV dinner plastic tray in a live trap.

When a cat gets caught, turn it loose. But when a raccoon gets caught leave it in there. Then come back later and you may scare his buddies up a tree. Shoot them out of the trees. Then shoot him in the cage.

Cover the live cage so that it is dark and dry in there.

Put a board in the bottom so the animal does not have to walk on steel.

After the animal is shot, wash out the cage with a hose to get rid of any odor.
