Here is a lovely video of a Canadian who's adopted a zillion raccoons.
Happy Election Day and good luck with that.

Better be careful coons get rabies, both cat and dog distemper, round worms , and some other infections.

Badgers and foxes are nightly visitors and it isn't unusual for the occasional guest appearance of a muntjac.
However, this scene of harmony slightly surprised me.
Perhaps the fox is wary of the muntjac and the muntjac is wary of the fox and so they co-exist in a state of tension.
OTOH perhaps neither gives a hoot!
I've had a couple of daylight sightings of the deer as has a neighbour.
There's a small paddock nearby in which self set sycamore and ash trees have taken a hold, along with other greenery, which no doubt provides excellent cover.
The Muntjac is a bit of a strange beast as they bark incessantly, thus drawing attention to themselves, but it isn't known why.
Still, they're welcome visitors.

Cool. Maybe I should get one of those trail cams for my back yard.
Although the wildlife has died down since early spring. The fox has dispatched 2-3 bunnies and at least 2 squirrells, so it's a death zone back there now. When I was travelling recently, my wife had to deal with the remains of one squirrel, and had to mention it at least half a dozen times.
The fox chewed a hole in my kayak planter because it heard something in there, but I patched it back up again over the weekend with bondo.
