Hey LR. I need advice about a raccoon problem.
This year I moved to a suburban area with a network of trails through he woods. When I started running these trail in the early morning, I consistently saw a raccoon who did not appear rabid.
Over the months I left scraps of food for it and eventually became friendly enough that it would take food out of my hands. However, this raccoon has become assertive enough that I have to change my running route to avoid the raccoon if I don't bring a snack for it. it has learned my schedule and often waits along the trail for me.
How do I fix this? I feel bad for the little guy, but I can't have him dependent on me.
