I catch the pests in live traps and transport them at east 6 miles from my property. Then I open the trap after they were in there all night they are plenty aggressive (Read: Pissed off in human terms) but do run away and usually up the closest tree. The 6 mile rule is a must or they will find their way back.

Live trapping is the top reason rabies is wide spread. It's the (usually unstated) reason it's illegal to release trapped animals in most states.

I catch the pests in live traps and transport them >>> i Think the state game people don’t like doing that in PA.

Funny, I do the same thing—six miles.

‘Hope we’re not in the same area...

I tried that on two separate occasions with feral cats. Both found their way back within 5 days.

I live in suburbia where coons outnumber those in the wilds. If I trap them, I shoot them.....Same with possums....

Same with squirrels, I've shot over 50 in my back yard in the past 11 months already, and they just keep coming.
