How far to relocate raccoon?

Im about to go to war here in the suburbs with a POS raccoon. Ive had enough of him. fricker comes in at night, tears my bird feeders down then takes a big shite on top of my pool cage for some reason. That's 3 times this week. He is also learning my pool cage up climbing all over it every night. Its time for him to live somewhere else
Will put my trap out tonight and catch his arse. There is a lake about a mile and a half away from my house that is wooded. It's honestly the only easy place to drop him off. Yes I live in a crowded suburban area. Far enough or is he coming back from there?

Google says at least 10 miles. Be prepared for how stinky those things are and it's gonna poop/pee in your truck/car when you do that.

Don't take prisoners. If you trap him, dispose of him.

It don’t have to be far at all, garbage can, ditch, woods, just throw the damn thing anywhere after you dispatch it

Bait the trap with a McDonald's cheeseburger. Relocate him about 2' under a pile of dirt or give it to someone who eats coon.

I have trapped probably 30-40 of them at my house.
I live in a pretty large subdivision. None made it out. .22 pistol with a silencer to the back of the head.

22 short between the ears is the best method

If you do relocate him here, tie a cinder block to his leg and make sure it's the middle of the lake.
We had one break into our attic and have 4 babies. With the help of a game camera and old baby monitor, we were able to track it while attempting to trap it. Multiple pest control "experts" involved. That thing knew every trick they threw at it. They confessed that they must release the racoon, but that they release it like 30 miles away in the state forest, because they are smart and will find their way back. They believed the one in my attic had been caught and released into the state forest across the highway from me. So now it understood the traps and was to bright to fall for it twice.
It took a month and we never caught it. We just caught the 3 of the 4 babies (two fell through the ceiling vent and were caught by hand) and it left on its own after that. Took nearly a month and THOUSANDS in costs and damage.

From the blood stain to the nearest garbage can

Damned things aint easy to trap...they are pretty dang smart. You'd think as comfortable as they are around garbage and humans they'd be easy but something about a trap triggers some internal sense of doom....

My live trap has a ten foot rope tied to it. When I catch something the whole trap gets thrown in the canal. Wait five minutes pull trap out and dump in canal. No blood no mess.

Perfect. Drive over there, tie a rope to the trap, and toss it in the lake.

Noticed crap in and around my pool and saw them on security cameras. Bought a trap and put peanut butter and marshmallows on a paper plate and have caught one each of the last six nights and released them about 5 miles away may be time for the pellet gun.

My dad used to catch them near his pool and relocate them to Jean Lafitte Refuge. Found out later that it is a biiiiggg no-no to put suburban coons on federal wildlife refuges. It may be less illegal to grill the sumbitches.
