Off and on something has been pulling off on one of my rubber gutter drain extensions. (Corrugated 4" about 8' long). We have had major armadillo problems again and I just thought that was the culprit. Well this morning I find a different extension not only off but completely missing. WTF? Coyotes maybe for some weird reason?
Perplexed in Kansas.

John, you don't happen to have nearby beavers do you? They'll drag stuff pretty far for their houses, and they are in our Kansas wooded areas. Otherwise, I'd guess racoons, just because they do crazy stuff.

Raccoons?

Coyotes will chew on plastic irrigation tubing. A common problem in vineyards.

Raccoons would have been my guess as well...but the Beaver theory is interesting. :thumb:
Don't think Coyotes or Armadillo's are the guilty party...Just my humble opinion... :wink:

We have had beavers off and on for years but it has been a year or more. Definitely have raccoons around. I could see them doing something like that. I am going to look around further here in a bit.

Look for signs of scorched grass , alien spacecraft use a lot of plastic pipe .

My old came camera quit and I have not bought a replacement yet, need to do that. Found the extension about 150 yards away to the west in my shelter belt. About a foot of it was almost completly off and varies tooth holes up and down it's length. The tooth marks sure look like raccoon. Dang little varmints.

Sounds to me like the work of a Chupacabra. I hear tell they have migrated north out of Oklahoma because of all the Okie Hop heads. Too much Commander Cody music and soft serve ice cream. :thumb:

I've had the same problem with raccoons (or opossums, but my wife likes possums better so it's better for my odds to blame raccoons...) taking my P100 half face respirators if I leave them in the my open stone studio. First time, figured it was crs after I put it up so I wouldn't lose it it. When the second one disappeared even faster, I figured some neighborhood kids were screwing with me after dark but still wondered if my old timers was getting a head start....
When I started cleaning up and reorganizing the studio in Aug between stones, I found both of them. they were under other stuff and half gobbled. Now I keep them in the house and try to remember where I put it.
