I have this same problem all the time, I tried to put a BOG out, made of teflon wire,
thinking they would not eat teflon,  it lasted a few days and was chewed
In pieces,   Coax the same,
Latest I found is my phyllistran guy wires are all chewed near the bottom,
herds of deer are the problem with that,  anything on the ground is done
away with by mongoose.
I have found no solution,  only sunny part is the deer keep me in steaks and
burger all year round,   mongoose is good for nothing.

I can't afford to spend $150 each time an animal feasts on it. I need to do something different! Incidentally, the beverage still has great directivity, but signals are very weak with the bad cable. It is barely useable now as a result. 73 Dave K1WHS
