THAT is some strong rope!

Don't ever underestimate the tenacity of animals when they're hungry! And we're supposed to be the clever ones?


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Not to mention a VERY determined bear. We don't see that down south. Maybe the next feeder ought to be strung up on a ten lb test. \:D One swinging bear might make the others think twice about attempting a "snatch and drop".

You know Bruce, that would have worked for rope climbing in JHS gym class! :p

We need the bear to act as a baffle to (and rid us of some) of the tree rats (aka squirrels) which will tear up anything less than a steel bird feeder. \:D \:\) ;\)

We used to feed peanuts to scrub jays, then a squirrel moved in and emptied the feeder. We moved the feeder and the squirrel then waited for the jay to hide the nuts, then he would dig them up. The jay then pretended to bury a nut in the lawn and it drove the squirrel crazy looking for it. Squirrel finally left.
