I am a retired RCMP Officer living in a rural setting in Nova Scotia, Canada. I spend my time enjoying nature and feeding my furry friends, the raccoons. I also feed the deer in the winter months and many varieties of birds. I have two rescue cats named Connor and Charlotte. Raccoon Whisperer™ is protected under trademark law & is owned/operated by James Blackwood IT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED TO FILM OR UPLOAD ANY VIDEO OF RACCOON WHISPERER™ WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT JAMES BLACKWOOD AKA RACCOON WHISPERER™. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
It's funny I am known all over the internet but when I go into Walmart in New Glasgow no one recognizes. I go to the big city of Halifax and I get recognized. But it is good to get out here locally and get my supplies and no one is none the wiser.
That's a good thing! Especially these days! Thank you for your kind heart and caring for those racoons. You bring peace and joy to this cold world! Much love from Michigan!
Bless you for all you do!! Your a rare caring person. Youve restored my faith in humanity. 🙋♀️💕⚘🦝
That sounds perfect to not be recognized locally! 👍. Thank you for the happiness you create for those who watch your videos - it is much needed and appreciated! 💕
CONGRATULATIONS JAMES 🐺 ALL THE WAY FROM GRAND RAPIDS MICHIGAN, AND MY FIRST TIME MAKING A COMMENT, BUT I'VE BEEN WATCHING 👀 YOU FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW AND IT'S BEEN VERY REWARDING ! 💖 👍🏾👍🏻👏🏾👏🏼
U must get a lot of looks at the Walmart checkout buying a cartload of hotdog every few days
Connor wasn't going to let those raccoons take all the spotlight
I laughed so hard...Connor cat wanted his 10 seconds of fame too!
Colleen Jones did a nice job on this.
@@christinesohan8611 yes Colleen did a great job!
Get back in here Connor Cat! I only watched 2 videos but that always cracked me up. Especially when I saw him in this video. Silly 😺
Haha yea
hilarious!!
*Out of all of the horrors of 2020, one of the best parts was being introduced to you and to this channel*
👍👍👍
Hello Cassandra, you are also a ray of sunshine in these difficult times, I enjoy your channel. Please take care 🕊🇨🇦
True, absolute highlight in what has been an utterly s*** year.
Omg yes!!
This. I look forward to seeing the raccoons every evening now.
Anyone else get tears in their eyes when we got to see Jim's late wife?
Yes...
🙏🏽
Beautiful lady
She's smiling down on the raccoons and Jim.
Yes
Who else loves this man
I do.
i do but im no homo
@@azlannakamoto7913 same
I do 😉
Everyone ☺
Jim, Your wife was BEAUTIFUL. 💖 It is a wonderful thing that you are Keeping your promise to her, to continue feeding her Raccoons. 💖
Mr. Blackwood is a National Treasure, we must protect him at all cost.
I totally agree!
Absolutely 🐾🐾❤️
I really hope this ages well. This man makes me hopeful 🥰
Finally a celebrity worth his stardom!!!
The part of your wife almost made me tear up. I’m glad she is ur inspiration, she would be proud of you my friend.
👁💜👁
Yes, and his late wife is smiling because of the joy he's causing in many people hearts.
This channel is addictive.
It’s a positive addiction
As hotdogs are to raccoons, so the Raccoon Whisperer is to his legions of fans lol.
Watching James Blackwood videos is like visiting with a dear friend every night. 💕💕💕
Like Mr. Rogers! He invites us over to sit and chat about neighborhood highlights. I'm so invested in this. This is the only channel I'll watch ads for. Don't stress about emails, Jim! We wish you a stress free holiday and thank you for all the work you do.
Grew up feeding raccoons on our carport pad, we had them coming up for about 8 years or so. Since it was the 1970’s they were more entertainment than the television. ;-) this reminds me of that time. Thanks for what you are doing. 🥰. I’m a retired USAF NCO. :-)
The news guy even said “Holy smokes.” Must have watched Jim before.
I know someone who had a music band by that name long time ago. ❤Hippie days lol
Lots of people talk like that in Nova Scotia. It's such an endearing accent!
😂😂😂 ı love how he says that
LOL there are lots of different accents in Nova Scotia. I think Jim's has a tinge of Newfie in his too - it's so easy to pick up on over there. I'm Acadian French, and I have a kind of French accent, but my niece, who married a Newfoundlander has now picked up their accent and sayings. It's like that on the East Coast of Canada - not sure if it's the same anywhere else lol
Canadian things! 😂
There ARE great people in this world.
And Jim is one of them
There are great animals in this world, too. 🐻🐹🐱🐶🐺🐥🐒🐼🐘🐸🐍🐔🐍🐬🐙🐜🐓🐃🐂🐎🐐🐪🐫🐿🐾
Thank you, Mr. Blackwood and your raccoons. 🐾
@@tinyvr7036 I love animals
Jim is single handedly curing my 2020 depression. 🖤
Absolutely ❤️✨
Thanks for everything, Jim!
Animal Planet needs to give James a TV Show...
Absolutely! I don't watch much tv but I'd definitely toon in for that
I so wish they would!! @animal planet this would be HUGE FOR YOUR CHANNEL!
That’s a cool idea
Someone tell this man he needs to not feel obliged to respond to all those emails!
@@JuandeFucaU Very good to know that Jim has trusted help with this adventure 🐾. Thank you! N. M., Maine, US
@@JuandeFucaU
You're letting your age show.😉👍
Amen! I'd rather see him spend his time with his wonderful little "bandits" and his dog than watch pretty much anything else on UA-cam.
@@tessarix I agree...
@ResumesForUs. net And he definitely needs the help. God bless him!!
Great interview. It was wonderful to see your wife. Awesome tribute to her Jim. She was a very lucky lady and you have preserved her memory in history in a beautiful way. Much love to you and your furry friends from California ❤❤🐺🐺❤❤🐺🐺❤❤
I'm struggling with severe depression living and working alone at home in lockdown but these videos are helping to make me smile now and again x
🌹♥️ I salute you for sharing.
Feeding your cute furfaces is way more important than answering e mails.
That was absolutely beautiful. I’m so glad Jim’s getting the recognition he deserves. Thank you Raccoon Whisperer!
Okay I’m crying 💕😭 just so happy for you, and seeing the picture of your wife. I’m a mess 😂
Omg me too! 😭❤️
Same here. Her picture touched my heart
Ditto...
I almost teared up. His wife would be so proud.
She was beautiful, with a heart of gold.. God bless both of them.
Racoon Whisperer, you're super famous now! CONGRATS 👏 🎉🦝🦝🦝🎊 I know your wife is so proud of you & smiling down at you.
It's awesome Jim is getting this TV coverage because for Jim it's quite a commitment!
Don't stress yourself trying to answer all those emails, it's impossible to do and still have a life ( AND feed my Woody😁). Everyone understands that...or should! Great interview, thx for sharing it. Stay safe!
That's right. The emails are a symbolic gesture of showing everyone's love and appreciation for Jim 💗
Yeah no worries about the emails. Bless your ❤️ you have the stuff hero's are made of.

Absolut correct ! 👍
You take care of yourself first, Jim; you don’t have to answer all that mail.
Your story comes through so beautifully, glad the ad revenue is serving you well!
I'm a pet sitter and we have clients that feed Raccoons as well as Skunks! Thank you for letting the masses know that it's not strange and that they are not scary.
@Nova Scotia boxing101 here in So Cal, it's the opposite. At least with my clients (I'm a pet sitter). The skunks get the first run through and then the raccoons follow for the scraps. I guess it depends on the location and order of operations with each household but where I'm feeding it's Skunks then raccoons. Both are gravely misunderstood regardless
Gorgeous wildlife! To be honored not feared. Thank you!!! 😉
@@meliciousmisc1717 skunks? Woukdnt a person get sprayed?
I gladly watch the ads on this channel knowing that the revenue helps feed the gang. I’m very happy that you are getting recognition for your huge and gentle heart, Jim.
I loved the feature! Mr Blackwood and the li'l furballs have captured the hearts of so many people around the world. I personally have found James' videos very therapeutic during these stressful and uncertain times, providing much comfort to me. I feel happiness in knowing that somewhere on this planet, there exists a little piece of Heaven.
Beautifully said
@@justareview6300 Thanks so much 😃
Wonderful comment ❤❤
@@teddyrose1420 Thank you so much 😃
The Man. The Myth. The Legend.
To the 55 who downed the video. You weren't loved/hugged enough by your parents or siblings, such a shame.
Thank you Jim for all you do for those little guys. Couldn't help but tear up when they showed a photo of your wife. My sister and mother died from cancer.
Awwwwww! What a wonderful story. It was well done and presented you as the bestest raccoon Grandpa ever. Thank you for sharing.
It's just wondeful Jim. The whole world is loving you and your raccoon babies. It's a good feeling to know there is still something good in this messed up world. :)
Yes
Well said!!
And still some people trying to scam him by promise him to give money thank God he not accept any help from strangers
There are evil people everywhere. Unfortunately. And with covid too many have far too much time on their hands. :(
Well said heartfelt
You should have your moderators assist you with the emails. Don’t put that much time into them. Enjoy your retirement. Thank you for posting the videos. The world is a better place because of you.
Applause from across the Atlantic, with love from Britain, Jim. Keep giving peoiple joy and Racoons food.
Jim, I love that you are getting the recognition that you well deserve. You are a gentle soul & the world would be a much better place with more people like Jim Blackwood. ❤️🦝
That was a wonderful story! Even Connor had to get in on it! Lol
I have some medical issues, not covid, and watching James Blackwood and his fur babies completely removes an anxiety that I have during this depressing time. May Jim be blessed with a very long and healthy life because his furry kids really need him.
Thanks for sharing your life with the rest of the world!!!
Mr. Blackwood your wife looked very pretty and I’m sure she is so happy you honored her wishes with such love, dedication and care.
The raccoons whisper is on the news. Cool!!! Way to go James🦝🦝🦝❤️❤️❤️
Your wife was beautiful ❤ I am sure she is watching over you so happy you're taking good care of her masked fur babies ❤❤❤❤
He didn't choose the racoon life,the racoon life chose him
months I have waited to find someone to comment this... lol
Love your Boston Bruins jacket! I have been watching him for over a year! The best comforting show right now! I’m happy you finally agreed to an interview. You make a positive difference every night when you feed your babies!
Jim is the hero we needed.
I had forgotten about him feeding the baby raccoons.
He's just an amazing man. I have loved his videos for many, many years.
Thank you Jim for continuing to take care of theses little little fluff balls that bring us so much joy!
My son-in-law saw me watching your channel and said "Wow! that's really wholesome". Don't turn away donations from your viewers, they just want to feel like they're helping too.
The fact that you're still feeding these raccoons after promising to your dead wife you would continue to care for them is incredible. Thank you for doing what you do! We love you
Through everything going on in the world, I watch James and the racoons, and i forget about the bad. And smile. Thank you for that❤️
@Micaela Jones 😘
I’m so beyond happy that Jim is finallllllly getting the recognition he has always deserved!! 😭👏👏
Took this man 9 years to go viral. Damn. What a decent human being. And hats off to this man taking care of those baby raccoons. And keeping his word to his late wife.
"Eww, People". Not Jim, tho. Jim's their bud.
Conner Cat made the news.
Right? I was so happy to see that he had! lol
Jim, you are just adorable!💗💗💗
RIP Jane... the inspiration behind this channel. So glad Jim has found the company of these adorable little masked bandits.
How many of us are following their passion like this fella? Salute to him.
Absolutely fantastic piece. I laugh when you get mobbed every time.. We all need some laughter during these tough times right now. Thanks much....
From the time he sits and the raccoons all swoon over him ! lol! SO Adorable.
Thank you for ALWAYS being there for the sweet Raccoons
I know it's time consuming for you every day of the week feeding them morning,night and mid dinner you are always there
You’re a Saint, James. Your cats, the raccoons and your fans all love and cherish you. You make the world a better place. God Bless you!
🙏💜🐾🐈🦝🌭🍇🍪🍩
So happy, so wholesome, pure bliss
I have learned so much about racoons from watching Jim feed them.
Let's keep this guy viral so he can get the funds to continue this activity and so that he can keep honoring his promise to his wife.
Godspeed, Racoon Whisperer.
Connor wants to make sure he’s on the news too 🤣🤣 gotta love him 😊
Your wife was so pretty! You both made a nice couple.
Thanks for posting this Mr. Blackwood. Your wife was a beatiful person. Love from México. ❤️
Fur Babies love him, because of his kindness . In this cruel time , kindness is hard to find. God Bless him with long life and good health. Thanks for shareing the fluffy fur babies. I so enjoy watching them.
I don’t know why youtube recommended this channel to me, but it was the best recommendation ever. ❤️🦝 🐈
I love those furry critters, I hope they have a cozy winter.
I just subscribed to the channel. No regrets.
Thank you for showing me that clip amazing. So glad everyone finally get to see the picture of your wife that you always talk about. Take care until next time.
I LOVE that Connor took center stage on the table! He knows what he's doing, that Connor Cat!🐱♥️🐱
Someone that is good and has a heart and doesn't break a promise! You sir have my respect!
Congratulations Jim...I am so happy for you....🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝Thank you for posting this for us to see here in the states..
With what's going on out there everyday battles covid depression loss of jobs .this is a ray of sunshine to watch .🦝we love u
Yes. Welcome to the fellowship of the bandits ❤️
Didn’t know that they showed up every day, I kept thinking that he fed them every couple of days, that’s dedication my man. This is what the internet was made for.
He feeds like 3 or 4 hours a night
Hello from Queens NY. Love your cute raccoons!! You’re so kind to do this❤️
Thank you so much for posting this Jim. I was trying to find it from here in Arizona after you mentioned it yesterday live
Conner Cat! He got in the camera, he’s famous too! Lol
Yes, Yes! Conner Cat!
Dear Jim!
I love this wonderful cute animals, please continue ans I hope many others will follow Your role-model in feeding the racoons! 🌻✌️
Warm Greetings from Germany!
Jim you're the man!!!!
Sweet! Raccoons hit the main media!
Your late wife was gorgeous! She must be smiling from heaven. God bless you...and the precious raccoons. ❤️ raccoon 🦝
I love anyone that feed and respect wild life. They can’t survive without our help I don’t care what people say but it’s true. We are taking over their Greenland and territories it’s only fair we help as much as we can. God I wish this man becomes soooooo famous and rich.
This is AMAZING! I am SO happy for you! You are a wonderful man; you deserve every ounce of success. The world is blessed to have you in it. I’m seriously tearing up right now! I love you, Mr. Blackwood! God bless you and your raccoon family 🙏❤️😊
At home, we play your videos on the TV! My family loves you too! 😊
Omg the orphan baby raccoons 😍🦝🦝
Did you watch that video? The whole one, not the piece they put in the story? So funny, and so darn cute!!
@@jojomart yes ❤️ I’ve seen the whole video 😂🦝 it’s so cute how the baby raccoons crawl over Jim while he is feeding them 🦝🦝
Happy to see Jim getting attention. He is a wonderful man. And very talented on top of being a friend to the animals. Those furballs will soon be going into hibernation so that is why they are so rotund. Come Spring they will be skinny and hungry. And Jim will be ready for them.
I had a pet Raccoon for a few years in the 60's when I was a kid....I still remember the hugs, the musky smell and the adorable face!
Jim making it big. I do love how you won’t accept interviews man, I respect that. ✊🏾
@@lyndamclean6786 I’m glad he made an exception this time, and who wouldn’t knowing it would be broadcast nationally throughout Canada! Great job Jim and I’m delighted the broadcast was well done!
@@lyndamclean6786 not really. He didn’t sit down for a couple of mins and answer some questions.
@@JuandeFucaU 🎵 "Late breaking story on the CBC..."🎵
Thank you for posting. Hi from Kentucky. Have a blessed night everyone.
Your wife may be watching all of this from heaven and smiling!!! She would be so tickled!!! God bless you Mr. Blackwood!!! 🙏🙏🙏💗
Mr Blackwood when I saw this I had the same expression as thor when captain America picked up Miramar. Yeeeesssssss. They finally did right by you.
It's good to hear that the ad revenues are becoming enough to help.
👍👍😀
That's awesome! I saw Connor Cat getting his time in the spotlight as well!
Nice story CBC did on you. Your beloved wife was very pretty James, so special that we got to see her photo 🐱. Much love from Pittsburgh, Pa. Can't wait for your next video. These are such bright spots in my day. Got laid off of work in March (15 yr. employee) due to covid, and hoping to get called back. Your videos help me to cope better more than you'll ever know ❤️
God bless this man and hopefully he gets more money for them and himself.
Awesome! Your videos are good relief from the chaos.
Congratulations Jim! We are so proud of you & your fur babies!❤👏
Congratulations on your recognition in feeding the raccoons.
James Blackwood is A WONDERFUL man. God bless him.xx
