Thanks AP and Esshup.
To all that have bears and feeders.
I don't expect a bear, but there may be a 5-10 percent chance at this point. Have any of dealt with bears? If a feeder is NOT protected and a bear comes to it for the first time, what would be the probability that the feeder would get destroyed beyond fixing. I know there isn't any accurate answer to this, but is there a track record of sorts of what damage the bear does to get the feed out?
If it happens once, I would then protect it of course. Just don't know if it warrants the time ,trouble, and money for a possibilty.
Thanks, Jim
EDIT; my question pertains to Texas Hunter feeders, not the cheap versions.....
