    We have remote land w/ several bear and have built several deer feeders that continue to get destroyed by our bears. Anyone find a feeder that can be heavily stocked and stand up to bears?

    Best trick I have seen is putting the feeder up on heavy duty and tall stilts or poles so they can not reach it. Of course this means you have to carry the feed up a ladder to stock it, a big pain in the butt.

    If a bear smells anything good he will go through great lengths to get the good smell. I have seen them shred iron boxes, pull down trees and even dismantle structures for something to eat or something they think smells good.

    Okay – I’ll be the one to stir the pot…

    My suggestion is to STOP FEEDING THE DEER. They aren’t livestock. They don’t need it.

    Let the fireworks begin.
