One of the many reasons people chose to live in Wyoming is the beauty of nature. Whether it's the view of the mountains or enjoying the wildlife (from a safe distance), there's an obvious reason we call it "Wonderful Wyoming".
Raccoons remind me of the little 1930's styled thieves in the old Bugs Bunny cartoons, although a lot more frightening in person, especially when you don't see the little "fur ninjas" coming.
