Sure would like to understand how that @#%& black bear can reach well over 7' high and tear down my sunflower feeders

Have a 12' 4x4 set, put two sections of 5" heat pipe around it so he can't climb the pole, then added an additional 6' of 4x4. Drilled 1" holes through the top, then slid 8' pieces of pipe through and centered them. At the ends of the pipe, I drilled holes to attach small pulleys to use a rope system to raise and lower them. I have to stand in the back of the Gator just to reach the ropes to lower them.
This morning, both feeders down............
