We always use a live trap with a pie tin wired inside. Put some jelly in the tin and wait. They love jelly. To dispatch them a 30 gal garbage can filled with water works good. Leave the coon in the trap and using a stick with a hook on it pick up the trap and submerge it for about 20 minutes. Drowns the little sucker. No muss, no fuss. Also a .22lr to the head has always been an effective way as well. It can be hard on the trap though, so drowning works well.
