Good ending for sure. I had one get in a live trap a few years back, and it was not all that disturbed, so I gently reached over with a hockey stick, flipped the latch and lifted the door. This guy strolled right out and left the area.
I think its worse to shoot them because they let off that scent bomb. They don't seem to bother much around here, I get one or 2 every season around the house and the neighbors, we just avoid each other, no harm done. They will eat turtle eggs if there is no rain to wash the scent, I raise a nest or 2 every year and release when they grow a bit the next summer. I have to cover the nest area with hardware cloth, skunks and coons are likely the culprits. Its nature anyways, amazing any ever get through.
I've done similar things to catch and release when possible, thinking what it would be like to reverse the roles, its more risk and work no doubt, but rewarding when they can be given another chance. I have problems with wood chucks every year, sometimes I just have no choice, but there have been many times I was able to relocate them in places where they are no bother.
