Did you get a quote on the damages? I'm sure this is expensive let alone all the trouble to get it repaired. I have never heard of such a thing and most lakes have an abundance of vultures.[/QUOTE]
We had two boats on the water that day and my buddys truck had most of the damage. My Ford truck just had the wipers torn apart. Seems that Chevy's have more rubber exposed for the bird to get a hold of. He has called it in to his insurance company.

I caught these 2 bass in my avatar Sunday 11/14/10 at Taylorsville. I will admit that some days are slow but the fish are there, you just have to know how to catch them...
Re: Rubber eating Vultures
The gentlemen in the office stated this is not the first time this has happened. If this is the case, where are the signs in the parking lot. Be aware that this can happen to you.

Be prepared to have to ask the question many many many times, but ask a KDFWR officer if any animal caught in the act of destroying human property can be destroyed. They will dip, duck, dodge, and dive to avoid answering the question. They will tell you what they prefer, or the best way to resolve the problem, or who to call, and use countless other replies to avoid telling you that any animal destroying human property can be destroyed.

I hear poison is a good lubricate for your wipers. It keeps them nice and soft and vulture free.
Re: Rubber eating Vultures
This is becoming very common. In fact many Marina's now have signs warning about damage to boats. There was some extensive damage done to boat seats and different things at sevral marina's at Cumberland, some have posted signs now. Personally I think there is way too many of them and they are about to take over my neighborhood. I've made several of them compost and yes I know they are protected so save your breath. If something tears up my property that I work hard to pay for, it WILL DIE.
Re: Rubber eating Vultures
Maybe buy a vehicle cover and cover your truck after you launch your boat and park the truck in the lot...
Re: Rubber eating Vultures
I remember reading about this a while back on here. They must have got my truck at some point. I noticed the seal above the door looked like it had been scraped off, dont know when or where it happened though.
