Interesting problem, since you are located close to me and I began have some
problems about a week ago. First my suet cake disappeared, then my feeder
was attacked. I have an "Absolute" squirrel proof feeder, with the metal
door that shuts with pressure to the perching bar, attached to an "L" shaped
pole to the deck with a baffle on the pole. The baffle was removed and
tossed aside, and the metal door was bent! That was no squirrel, and I
wonder whether a raccoon would be that strong. It took some doing to bend it
back, and repair the baffle, but no new problems thus far.

I went out one morning earlier this week to find three feeders on the
ground under one tree. One, a platform feeder I had made, was torn
apart.
I set a live trap and yesterday morning found a rabbit in it. I
suspected strongly that the rabbit wasn't guilty of the feeder damage,
so I set the trap again last night. This morning I went out to find an
agressive raccoon in a high state of agitation due to severe "teasing"
from our two 100lb. plus Labs. We've lived at this location seven years
and have never had such damage before. I'm wondering if others have had
such experiences
with 'coons.
The little masked bandit has now been removed from the area but, just to
be safe, I'll set the trap again tonight.
