Raccoon Denning in Old Groundhog Sette

This is the den where Moxie worked a raccoon last week. The raccoon was under a large flat rock, still under dirt, and too heavy to move. The tracks are muddy, so the raccoon is still using the den, but indistinct on the partially melted and refrozen snow.

Much less winter movement from raccoons as compared to fox — raccoons partially hibernate, and may stay denned for several weeks in cold bad weather.
