If I use a body grip trap, the trap marks the animal for me. I havent had one return yet.

I have on numerous occasions trapped a mother raccoon and then released her on location to get her to grab her babies and move to a new location. If this is effective to get her to leave I don't think taking her 20 or 30 miles away will change her mind about wanting to return.

Pretty much any other species I am sure would return again and again and again.

I have let numerous raccoons go at my parents property and they have yet to have a raccoon problem. I think they get released hold up til dark and then head off to find a new home. I don't think they want to return to the capture site or remain on the release site.

But I have never marked any animals nor do I ever plan too.

Didnt mean to offend you. Oh darn, there I go again!

I had an idiot paint all my squirrels (and cages) flourescent orange one time. I remained professional and put the baseball bat back in the truck.

Mostly could be all boar coon that's been fighting to . I know I see a lot of ripped up ears . I would like to do some kinda tagging program and see what happens to these animals after release . I know I never hardly get calls from around my release areas . The last one was like two years ago and that was like 5 miles away . These coons have fur value here in Michigan also there's a meat market for them as well . I just haven't found away into the meat side yet

Not sure if you were referring to me Mike but nothing to be offended by. Was just saying that in my opinion I don't think female raccoons pose a re-entry threat if babies are there.

I have always relocated males or females with no young so no knowledge if they would re-enter and don't want to find out they will and now be trap smart on top of it.

Just put it down humanely.
