You are right Phil about their destructiveness. A buddy of mine had a real nice cabin cruiser type boat all equipped with electronics, downriggers etc. Over winter the coons somehow got into it where it was being stored and set up house. The boat was almost a total loss in the spring and it was difficult to restore it without gutting all the seats and fabric inside. He couldn't get the smell out of it. Luckily we don’t have any bears in this county since it is all islands and they are hibernating when the ice forms allowing them to get from the mainland. Nothing can be as destructive as a bear on a seasonal property.
