Face to face...well not quite

As I walked up our back yard (I was in the fenced in portion yet), Teddy came trotting down the upper back yard unaware of my presence obviously. When I spied him I held the aromatic plate of food in front of me and froze. Whether he caught the scent of the food or me, he stopped and froze momentarily too. There we were for a brief few seconds looking right at each other. I wanted to toss a piece of liverwurst but I knew I was too far away, and he would probably perceive me as throwing something AT him, so I just stood there. I secretly hoped he would come to the fence, but reality soon took over as he turned and ran to the safety of his mountain. Momentarily crushed again, I shook it off, and placed his breakfast right inside the trap, and left a trail of special treats for him. I took my liverwurst and sat behind the fence again and waited. He did not return within 2o minutes, and it was a tad chilly this a.m., so I left (left some good chunks of liverwurst right outside the fence too). About 30 minutes later, I saw him eating. I am so glad that he returns, but I really wish he would show some familiarity with me at this point. It's odd to me that he doesn't, because even non-domesticated animals will begin to trust given time. There were two chipmunks that lived here that would take peanuts right from my hand, and run right up to almost anyone who came on our property. Same with rabbits, squirrels and other critters, I just don't know what happens to him all day and all night that might prevent him from trusting me, the one who always feeds him. It is perplexing and frustrating, but it is a challenge I will continue to try to meet. Thanks for your prayers!
