Captured this pic on my trailcam in MN. Debate over whether it's a raccoon, large procupine, badger, or ??? You have to look close at the head to get a good perspective.
At first glance it appears that the head is facing the camera, and has a raccoon-like mask, but that is really the markings on the left side of the head behind the ear. With a magnifying glass you can see that the head is looking straight, not to the left. So, you can only see the nose and left side of the face (left eye, left ear, etc). On real close inspection you can see the left eye- it appears as a small dark black dot. Its nose is
sniffing at the ground.

the picture is kinda small but i'd say its a coon

looks like a coon to me. Too tall to be a badger I think

Here's a marten...could be. Probably just a coon. At first glance, I thought it was a bobcat. Who knows?

Looks like a badger to me. Hard to tell though.

Coon maybe.

A badger. Badgers are surprisingly tall. Cool.
