Got some critters messing with my bee hives. Using a live trap how far will I need to relocate possums and/or raccoons to insure they do not return? Tried Google for information and minimum of 5 miles was the answer and that 10 miles was better. Hard to believe they need to be moved that far but would not be asking if I knew. Do not mind taking them for a short ride but will just shot them before I spend the time and gas to haul them 5 miles or more.

They won't survive. They will starve and be killed by the coons that live wherever you drop them off. Better to kill them when you catch them.

pretty sure transporting live is illegal... Only got a verbal reply from our local GW (Henry County) and he said it was okay to relocate/release all but feral swine. Thought I did think it odd that the regs. read "unlawful to to release LIVE feral swine". What other kind of hogs could you release except live one?

Relocate them from above ground to underground. I like to recycle them. Buzzards can turn them into Fertilizer.
I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.

Why would you go through the trouble of relocating them? Not judging, just curious?

It’s illegal to transport them alive The information below is all that I found but is you have more information please share as I want to be legal. Would not be moving across county line but from what has been shared so far I will just pop them with .22. Since it is legal to kill them any time of the year do not even have to follow the three S's rule of Shot, Shovel, and Shut-up. Can just kill and bury. "It is illegal to translocate raccoons in the state of Alabama to a location across county lines or a river drainage because of potential health risk (i.e. rabies)."

Relocate them from above ground to underground. Above is the correct answer...
There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

Truth is I had not thought it through. Just set the trap 1st time last night and caught a possum which I had planned to kill but wife was with me so I had to haul it off. Was not a big problem since I was not going to bait and reset tonight because of church and unable to check tomorrow so just pulled the trap and dumped it out on the way home. Sure not going to do that every time, though. So I guess my original question is null and void as I will just kill the rest.

I've trapped a bunch of those egg sucking varmints. I always relocated them to coon/possum heaven or hell whichever applied. No redeeming qualities that I can think of
