On this podcast, we take a unique angle at how someone would intentionally manage to improve a raccoon habitat. No, we never have met someone who is trying to accomplish this intentionally, however, we must realize that many of our actions have impacts on non-target animals.
Raccoons seem to be the "new coyote" on the scene. A lot of hate is being spread and aimed at this generalist species. It would seem that with the increase in population over the last few decades that many would come to the conclusion that perhaps our efforts to manage whitetails is improving the habitat for raccoons as well. This then begs the difficult questions that no one likes to answer, Are we contributing to the issue?
