Default Can raccoons climb

My corn patch is surrounded by a wire fence but it hasn't kept the
raccoons out. I don't see any holes under the fence so I don't know how
they are getting in. Can raccoons climb wire fences?

I caught one last night in my trap and moved him to some conservation land
about 5 miles away. I've reset the trap and I fully expect to catch
several more, but from past experience it's pretty much impossible to make
a dent in the raccoon population. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
