Ok im setting up my other spot on my lease.. got a feeder and treestand.. But when i looked at how much it costs to make one of my own.. I just decided to get a tripiod and if a bear tips it over ill just hopefully reuse the bucket..

So here comes the question..

Should i just put Soy Beans in my feeder? Everyone says bears dont eat that and will not mess with the feeder. And it will only attract the deer.. Is this true?

If so im just gonna fill the feeder with beans instead..

Read some more posts - bears WILL eat soy beans. We used to hunt up in eastern North Carolina, and there were as many bears in the soy bean fields each night as there were in the corn fields and sweet potatoes. Bears eat whatever is available, and as much of it as they can get!

If you just use the steel pole ,you should not have a problem with the bears breaking every thing. 3" pole should work just fine. Sayin.
