Title: Bear problem
Post by: Wilderness Addict on May 24, 2013, 03:52:34 PM: Any thoughts on how to keep this bear out of my deer feed. I've tried relocation(only about 2/3 of a mile, I want to keep the feeding where the best deer run). It took the bear less than 6 hours to find it after my last move. Right now I am feeding sweet cob and salt, and will switch over to salt only, once enough deer find it. Any suggestions?

And yes, bears do sh*t in the woods.

The only thing I have seen that does not specificly draw them in is salt. The may check it out, have a lick, but don't think they will seek it out and hang around chowing like they do with cob.

Then slip some jalapeno, habanaro or other really, super hot peppers inside the treats.

Deer don't usually eat that type thing (so they say), and it is supposed to really discourage the bears from coming back. Just a thought, because like was mentioned, you will either get a different bear if you move or that one may just follow.

He didn't think that small pepper would be that much hotter than a jalapeno. He popped the damn thing like a cherry chewed and swallowed it. About half way through his face went from "i got this" to "FML!" I gave him a $20. :chuckle:

I'm sorry but - I think we need more proof :sry: :chuckle:
