I don't get it. How can they navigate? I've been lost
more than once in the woods and had to laboriously
figure things out with topo maps and a compass,
and I consider myself a hell of a lot smarter than
a racoon, and with an education. The coon never even
made it to kindergarten.

Yea, sometimes it's like trying to release a bird. Short of putting
it on another continent, the bird will home back to it's original spot
and bother you alll overrrr again.

OK. Well, a bird has, well, a bird's eye view of the world
available.

Release a mammal less than 10
miles away from original locale and you'll be sure they'll run back as
fast as possible.

Beats me how they can do that, but I'm releasing my coons 15
miles away and across the river.
