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 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.
