The raccoon couldn't leave because he was having too much fun scaring me. (How do you tell a rabid raccoon from a startled and angry one? The answer is, don't get bit so you don't have too.) So the face-off continued.
I was always taught that if you're seeing him in broad daylight, there's a good chance something's not right with him. That goes for most nocturnal animals. Granted, there's definitely exceptions.....but....better safe than sorry.
Side story.....I used to run into a local at our pitch n putt that had a rescued raccoon as a pet. It'd ride around in his backpack. It was pretty awesome. I was scared outta my britches the first time I met him. We had crossed paths and he asked me if I wanted to join him. Like 4 holes later, walking down the fairway BSing nonchalantly, this raccoon pops his head up. I was like oh hey there, wtf.....
