Bear Problem
Got a problem. I recently moved in on my property, 50 acre parcel in the middle of about 1200 acres. My 50 is 30 year hardwood growth. Half the properties are replanted pines, of the same age, the other half hardwood regrowth, like mine. Got a ways to go, but it's forresting up nice. In addition to the acre and a half where the house is,I got a two acre clearing of food plots and orchard grass. Property lines are full of clover. I've lost three feedersto the bears. Three. Mangled and destroyed. Both tri-pod and tree hung. Anybody got a suggestion on how to detour them? They treat them like big bird feeders. Neighbors dropped two bears last season, so apparently they're more entrenched than anybody around here really knows. Excluding killing them out of season, anybody got an idea?
