Ummmmmmm....
I have followed raccoons into the woods.
Not so much for that reason as curiosity, but the little fuckers are hard to find when a giant, smelly ape is failing his stealth checks due to not being able to see jack shit without a flashlight, and the flashlight just makes them go still enough they're hard to see against the now shadow heavy undergrowth while your night vision is destroyed.
That being said, 10/10 tour of the Ohio woods. Best part of the entire trip
