    All we had to do was run some rabbit beagles and roary left and has never been seen again!

    I miss that bear.

    We had so much fun with him.

    Cereal, beer, darth vadar mask.....
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    Look at these:

    This is the design I'm using:

    The lease I am in had a bear on the property before I joined. It moved on and there hasn't been any other sign since. I can't say this will solve your problem but the design is smiler to other methods I've seen that were successful keeping bears out of the feeders.

    I put the pulleys ~30' up so the feeder sits about 15' off the ground.

    This is what I did. Damn bears figured out the winch was the weak point. Since I've removed the winch handle, no issues so far.

    Tie a "pit bull" to the bottom of that tree.

    Problem solved.

    5 gallon bucket style feeder and throw a rope over a limb 15-20' up. Fuck that was hard
    Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.

    I have seen bears gnaw creosote phone poles in two. First thing I thought of when I saw that pit picture...
