I'm going to disagree a bit here. I'm not saying that an Ursack isn't safe from critters. But I think even if I had one I would hang it.
For me the issue is one of peace and quiet as much as anything. If I spend all night listening to critters ATTEMPT to get into an Ursack then I still lose a night's sleep even if I don't lose any food.
Sound sleepers may not have this problem. I'm a light sleeper and for me a raccoon messing around in my camp can really ruin my sleep, even if he goes away hungry.
You don't hang Ursacks! That defeats the purpose. They are tied off to a tree at the base. If an animal does attempt to get in, as they tug, the Kevlar ties get tighter (figure 8 knot at top of bag). If you hang a Ursack like a bear bag you might as well just use a stuff sack.
Bear bagging blows and sucks in my view - and very few people do it correctly in the end (hence why bears treat bear bagging like fun filled pinatas).
