Maybe you need to up your game with the traps. In Texas we have these pen traps for wild hogs. You could build one for raccoons and catch a whole mess of those rascals. Use chicken wire instead of hog wire.

Free pigs? Stop bragging!
The raccoons here can tear through chicken wire with little effort. They get massive and they're smart... I mean really, REALLY smart. They could do my taxes but they want to be paid in figs!
My main go-to trap is this:
Havahart® Large 1-Door Animal Trap
The Havahart® Large 1-Door Live Animal Trap is designed by trapping experts to be the most effective, reliable and durable trap of its kind. It is carefully constructed with a fine-tuned tripping mechanism that specially targets heavier critters like cats and raccoons - eliminating false...
They're very sturdy. I've tried the cheaper, overseas ones and they may be good for an opossum but the metal is so thin they get out.
These ones are no good good for Toronto raccoons:
This one was looking promising to me.... but, cha-ching! I like the design but they'd be difficult to transport to the drop-spot.

Nah that’s not what he’s saying, he’s saying “READ MY LIPS, I swear it wasn’t me, it was Pauley the opossum and his bunch really it was, honest.
