Trap them if you have to, it's easy and painless.
They make a lot of noise when fighting or in distress; I heard that screaming not too long ago and went outside to find that a baby raccoon had managed to get it's foot caught between two tree trunks; down in the 'V' like a wedge. The mother was trying to get it out; it was sad, and the little guy was terrified. The more I tried to get it out by pulling the trees apart, the more his foot got wedged in, crushing it. No, I didn't go get my gun. I finally got him freed and didn't get bit; I had to cut down one of the trees however. That's life.
