    This can be completed as early as Day 76. When you start Day 76, head north toward Beartooth Point. About halfway there (between the words "Thorofare Trail" and "Telephone"), the trail splits once and then again. After the split, look for an old outhouse that is falling apart (it contains the lyrics to Ol' Shoshone inside). From the outhouse, head east and look for an old cabin that is falling apart. Inside, go into the basement and open the stove. A raccoon should jump out and the achievement will unlock.

    PhantomCargo211I was in free roam mode, saved, and tried a few times. I had to restart the game, then first try I got the achievement

    PaladinX87Had the same issue as some others: started a new game and replayed to the day where you use the axe to break into Wapiti Station. While on my way to the fence I took a detour to the cabin and when I reached the trail marker I made a save and copied it. Reloaded the original save and made my way to the stove in the abandoned cabin, let the raccoon out, no achievement. Quit to the menu and reloaded the original save again, this time when the raccoon came out the achievement popped.

    The Baird BusFor this and other buggy achievements, my found solution: upon the completion of an achievement but it doesn't pop...

    Open the Xbox app on your phone. Touch your profile in the bottom right. Then touch Achievements tab and then click on Fire watch. The achievement should unlock in about 5 seconds.

    I assume the problem is the game not talking to Xbox servers and checking the game on your app forces it to.

    You can actually get this as early as Day 3. Instead of boarding up the window at the tower I went northeast to a cabin. Here is a video of it. At the beginning and the end of the video I pull up the map to show where I'm at. The flashlight helps but isn't necessary. It can be found in one of the caches but I forget which one. Just enter the cabin and head down to the basement and approach the stove. Open it and the raccoon will jump out for the achievement.

    THOR4205Yes, Free Roam works great. Free mode is accessed via "Main Menu" > "Special Features" > "Thorofare Free Roam".
