Ok check out the first pic, then the second, then the third , then the forth.. In the second pic look at the tree to the right and the top of the flashing is bent. Then look at the rest of the pics.. This bear is quick with it. He got a running start past the cam and jumped up the tree and got out of cams range ontop of the top beam that holds the feeder up.. I know it was a bear.. I KNEW IT. the first feeder was trashed and the second one was metal and bent to crap.. BUT why dont he eat the corn? i just don't understand it.
he bent the feeder cause this one was metal and he couldnt snap it off.. just bent it so all the corn fell out.. but why dont he eat the corn? i just dont understand.. and why is the cam not getting him? There was also hair on Aluminum nails that hold the flashing to the tree. (aluminum is tree company safe foe their saws).. So i KNOW HE CLIMBED UP THAT TREE. and scratch marks on the tree.
NO prints cause he rained like crazy. He always comes before a rain.
Reading about this the other day. FWC is looking for ways to bear proof feeders and is offering rewards for ideas. Use the below link and flip to page 65.
The bottom of my timer is 9' off the ground and the pole fully clad with slick aluminum no ridges 11' up, also it is a 4x4 where he cannot wrap his legs around and climb. Has been bear proof all season.
16' 4x4, 3' in the ground, 2 bags sackcrete, clad in aluminum flashing
