  Dear Papabear
    No. As Art pointed out, it tain't the hikers...it is the wildlife. 
Dropped my pack in Maine to hike about 30 yards to a view and a squirrel 
chewed thru the fabric of my side pocket to get my lunch. He was leaving, 
wiping his whiskers, with a satisfied smile on his furry face, when I 
returned 10 minutes later. You would think, that after 2100 miles I would 
have know better...I did....but I didn't ... and no, I didn't have squirrel 
meat for my lunch....but that little sucker learned a few new words <g>
