Someone's home most of the time and certainly at night here. He tries breaking into the house or garage here, it'll be his very last mistake. I'll bust his ask with the 12ga and slug.
A guy just shot one this week that attacked his dog. DNR stated it was the same bear that mauled someone last summer (Somehow they knew). Won't tolerate him breaking in.
The top black tape around the metal is 6' off the ground. The feeders were higher. The pulley system is on the post itself and I have to stand in the back of the Gator to reach the ropes to lower the feeders. The photo above shows him trying to climb, but he can't climb that metal. Its obvious I "thought" I had them high enough. This time they'll be 10' in the air.
