    Bear Proofing Feeder

    For those of you who have hunted where there are black bears, what are y'all doing to keep your feeders from getting torn up? Do you have to hang them? This will be a new experience for me and my buddy says they're more destructive than hogs and will tear up everything.

    So far (4yrs knock on wood) they haven’t torn up my tripods. The timer is at about 6.5 ft. That and a timer on my protein feeder.

      That was the type I was thinking I might have to go with. I can't believe they haven't destroyed your protein feeder.

            I had a heavy duty cage made when I hunted around bear. Luckily I didn’t have any issues.

                That would be nice if I could use a set up like that.

                That's what I assumed most people had to do but wasn't sure.

                      Please don’t feed the bears double down it bulks them up and gives them a bad attitude and a ego problem

                        Watched a show on tv this week
                        Bear cub climbed a tree slid dow the cable off a limb where feeder was hung
                        Pull the lid off and crawled inside.
                        And ate till the hunter show a pig
                        Climbed out, down and rambled off
                        Hard to believe. Like a 75 lb raccoon

                          Just have Pilar come throw some cigs around your feeder and the bears won’t be a issue. Very welcome.

                            Cause when the bear confronts him for littering he will shoot them in the face. . .
