hence the term OMNIVORE, more like what won't they eat.

I've had to deal with bears the last few years. I guarantee any tripod you put out even with soybeans is coming down. I suspended a 5 gal. feeder with soybeans 15' up between some pines. The bears didn't get it but when they showed up they would be there for days and I wouldn't get any deer pics for a week. They ate the soybeans just like the corn. My buddy found a good travel route and would lightly hand spread corn and never once saw bears on thousands of pics. If they hear a feeder go off they're gonna come running. If it was me since I'm sure everyone else is running a feeder I'd just hand spread some corn around a nice foodplot each time I got to the property and let the bears run to everyone else's spots.

is that another of fl's logic? it seems to me you should either be allowed to spread it or not. what diff does it make if it's an established spreader, thrown by hand or dropped from my lear jet.
