Remember the pesky raccoon(s) that ruined our pontoon boat and kept it out of commission all last season? Well, we're hoping to keep it / them at bay this year with ... dried coyote urine! A natural predator of coons, dried coyote urine stuffed in some old nylons is supposed to keep the masked bandits away. And it sure smells good, too! Will let you know if it works. (And, no, I didn't go collect it myself though we do have a number of coyotes around these parts. It is commercially avilable, collected I assume on some wonderful coyote farm someplace.)
