Ursa Wednesday - 10 Years Ago
So Monday afternoon the bear cub came by and ate out of a couple of tray feeders.
Around 7:00pm the same day, he came back.
And as I'd long feared, showed interest in my row of tube feeders.
He was careful and did not remove or damage the feeders.
But this is not a good situation...
...for me or for the bear.
I don't want him learning to associate bird feeders with easy food.
Or to become used to people.
So I'm going to try something new.
I tore up some old towels into strips.
I soaking them in Pine Sol. The strong scent is supposed to help deter bears. I have a spray bottle and I'll spray them frequently to 'refresh' them and we'll see how that goes.
BTW Pine Sol did not help worth a wit!
