On our last trip I brought a big plastic bin that fits the back of the
CJ7 and used nuts and bolts and clamps and vise grips every night to
hold it together but it didn't stop him from chewing on it all freaking
night trying to get into it.
We had neighbours with a dog the first couple nights, no coons, then the
fun started.
Anything left out got a bite. They got the vinegar bottle the first
night and didn't bite too many things else in that one box.
I finally covered the big bin with pepper and bits of duct tape. glue
up, covered with pepper for a nice sticky 'hot foot' and poured
Louisiana Hot sauce around the edges to stop them chewing it. I filled
some duct tape with the sauce and put it on the corner he wanted to chew
the most. The first night this way, he got a couple hot feet and went
away Mad. Really mad from the sounds of the snarls and spits and going
ons. We found two of the duct tape pieces down by the lake next morning
and a few tracks in the pepper.
The next night they were there before dark so my wife treed one. Then
she treed the second that came along a little later. That was a fun
night, she didn't let them come out of that tree until after we went to
bed and these two coons really didn't like each other, the second one
went up the tree to start a territory fight until he realized 'he' was
now in for it too. LOL! They tried changing trees three or four times,
but they couldn't stop their scratching noises so were easy to follow.
They didn't come back that night and waited until 'after' we were in bed
after that. <grin>
Then the next night one -----footed around the edges of the box so as to
only leave one paw print, then he tried chewing. Well, the howls and
barks and snarls that came out of him when his nose got into the black
pepper and hot sauce I poured along the edge was worth the lost sleep.
My wife and I were almost pissing ourselves laughing. He tried twice,
once later or there were two equally unhappy because there were two nice
nose prints in the sauce. LOL!
The following nights, we just had the odd one try and they disliked the
pepper sauce just as much. LOL!

A raccoon will bite into a tuna fish can just to suck the juice out. They
don't need razor blades. My wife said it was real comical, in a primitive
sort of way, seeing me buck naked outside the tent in the middle of the
night, throwing rocks at raccoons. Good thing she forgot to take photos.
Don't camp where there are lots of raccoons.

A raccoon will bite into a tuna fish can just to suck the juice out. They
don't need razor blades. My wife said it was real comical, in a primitive
sort of way, seeing me buck naked outside the tent in the middle of the
night, throwing rocks at raccoons. Good thing she forgot to take photos.
Don't camp where there are lots of raccoons.

Earle

Not as funny as your story, but my fishing buddies and I had a run in
with some raccoons in Eagle River, WI a few years ago. the resort owner
warned us that the raccoons were very brave and that we should not leave
anything outside that they could get in to. The first night fishing we
caught some walleyes and a couple bass, and left them chained to the
dock on a stringer so we could fillet them in the morning. The next
morning, all the walleyes had been removed from their heads which were
still on the stringers. Our boats had been boarded and all the minnow
buckets and livewells were cleaned of minnows. The nightcrawler and
leech containers were all opened and emptied. Our large coolers full of
minnows were slid out from under the deck of the resort and mostly
emptied. There were raccoon tracks all over the dock, in the boats and
around the decks.
The last night we were there, we put out some leftover food that was
spiced with habanero and cayenne pepper, and was not fit for human
consumption because it was so spicy. The next morning, all that was gone
too. Our only satisfaction was that somewhere there were several
raccoons dragging their asses on the ground and dipping them in the
water to squelch the pain.
