Who shanked my tent?

[The Hedgehog]

Found these pictures from 2013. I left a nice Hilleberg tent out in the mtns 3 days between stays during an archery elk hunt. My bag and some gear were inside, but nothing touched. A hanging boda bag of water was shredded and a tarp wrapped bundle of food taken out of a tree and mangled. The tent was the only real loss. I was able to hunt a couple days but did a burial by fire and kept the poles/stakes.

Who/what did this? Bear, Lion, @Marshian

Looks like the work of a Marshian, but I am no expert.

Off-season. Here we go!!

I'm going with either Matt Rinella or Cam Hanes. Bahahah.

Roosevelt's Wendigo, by the looks of it. You're lucky you weren't in the tent when it happened.

Burning it was bad for the environment. mtmuley

Last year we had a griz poke a few claws through the side of a tent we set up a week before the hunt. Curious buggers.

Although I wish I could take credit for the carnage, ultimately, I pack out my handiwork and throw it in the dumpster of the nearest rest area. I must have a copycat killer

What about the smelted aluminum in that fire ring? The Kerlon fumes can get you higher than a kite, better than sniffing glue, whippets, or huffing antifreeze - you should try it.

Every time you throw a beer can in the fire, it actually heals a hole in the Ozone Layer. It’s a theory I’ve been working on since high school and you’re welcome world.

I’m sure it applies to tents too.

It also could have been a hippie yoga girl. Tired of you spying on her through your spotter.

So are you saying I should be keep healing the holes in the ozone, as opposed to “doing the right thing?”
