Rocky the Hungry Raccoon!

As we were fishing on the TN River today, we had our boat pretty close to the bank. This raccoon comes down the rocky hill and as close as he can get to us.

At first we were concerned that he was rabid, as he was aggressively trying to get to our boat.

We were eating sandwiches at the time, so my husband throws a piece of sandwich his way. He was starving!  He evidently knew to go toward fisherman and they would feel sorry for him. :)


He ended up eating several bites of sandwich and even some chicken livers we were using for bait before he left.  The funny thing was about 15 minutes later another smaller raccoon came down the rocks with the same antics. I really think they have a racket going on to see how many fishermen they can sucker into giving them food.
