How do you know it's the same one? You've had several you were feeding.
Sad what them raccoons can do to a neighborhood.
A few years back we went to VA. and took a ride by our old home that the kids had spent some years growing up in.
The area is today considered a Historic area, I had not seen the area in 20+ years and was speechless when I saw the old home.
The homes are mostly 120+ years old, trees planted on street side of the sidewalk, but, when it came to our old home the trees had been removed on both sides of the street. Just there in that one spot, it looked naked.
The neighbors across the street were still living in their home and was happy to give me an update on what had gone on in the last two decades after I had sold my home in the mid 80'
Where were the trees in front of our two homes ? The story I was told made little sense to me but it seems while remodeling the home, new roof, etc. some raccoons just happened to decide to move in and as their family's grew they decided to branch out and chew into the other homes in the area with the smallest of roof problems.
The Coons were trapped and taken 20 miles away to the Dismal Swamp, yet they were back in a week or so. Nothing worked so the new owner who did not live in the home had a company come in and tent wrap the home. Big Bucks for that.
Everyone on the street panicked when the Coons came back so in their wisdom the city cut down all the sidewalk trees on both sides of the road just in front of my old home and the neighbors across the street.
Why this worked and the Coons packed their bags and left the other homes alone I have no idea, but it really did the job on the curb appeal.
We expect to see wildlife in NH. However I never expected to see wild life and was surprised to hear of Raccoons taking over a down town area in VA.
