Long story short, the other night I came home in the dark to find a raccoon enjoying the spilled bird food remains.
As I pulled my car into the garage, the raccoon scampered away, but not too far from the food he was noming.
This meant that the act of simply getting into the house would put myself between the critter and the food.
With each step I took nearer the house, the little bandit took a step closer to me.
Out came my NiteCore D10 on high. All the beam did was make the little guy's eyes glow eerie red. So, two quick presses were used to get to strobe mode.
The little guy quickly ran off across my yard and I then felt comfortable enough to proceed into my house; all the while keeping my D10 on high - to keep an eye out for critters.
