- they are nocturnal
- Put some food out in your backyard and racoons will come at night. Foxes are a bit more wary, but they might come too if their hungry enough and you live in an area where there are plenty of them around. I've had a fox steal a twinkie off a picinic table right in front of me in the middle of the day before.
- Distance and patience. Animals are not naturally afraid of humans. They won't come right up to you but if you're a good 30 meters away they may look right at you and then go back to whatever they were doing. They don't care because you're just another animal. The exception is animals that have been hunted or fed. Deer who have had some experience with hunters will spook if they so much as smell you. By far the best place to see wildlife is in places where hunting is not allowed. Think private property held by the ecologically-minded or parks. Near where I live there's a wildlife refuge where raccoons will come right up to cars and paw at them in broad daylight or roll on the ground trying to look cute because they've been trained to expect children to throw them granola bars. Animal? Yes. Wild? Not anymore. Feeding animals is bad because they forget how to forage and eventually someone will think they're fearless because they're rabid and shoot them. There's also patience. By unbalancing ecosystems and building roads we've seriously reduced the density of large animals in most places. Even in healthy ecosystems large predators are rare; in Kenya wildebeest and gazelles are everywhere but lions are an unusual sight. I've seen a lot more deer and turkey than I've seen bears. Lastly learn the cycle of what you want to see. For example deer are seen most during the mornings and evenings, and gators are easiest to see on cool sunny days on the edge of the water trying to soak up some heat.
- Move to the country.
