Default What's eating my figs?

About 10 years ago I planted a fig tree---Brown Turkey, I think.

It is about 15 feet tall and 18 feet wide and is producing lots of figs this year.

It has not produced many figs until this year, but production has increased from year to year.

This year I researched how to prevent birds from pecking ripe figs and I hung about 25 large aluminum pie pans and a large plastic owl in the fig tree.

It has not helped.

Yesterday I picked and tossed 30 ripe figs that had been partially eaten. See attached photo of a typical partially eaten ripe fig.

This morning I tossed 10 more.

It seems to happen at night. I am thinking maybe raccoons.

Anybody got a clue what is eating my figs?

Better yet, what to do about it?

Thanks.
