This year, I leased a new property and put out a couple feeders to see what might be in the area. I've been getting some pics of a few nice bucks. Yesterday, I went out to add corn to my feeders and check my trail cam pics. When I got to the first feeder, I found that there was damage and right away I thought it was from a bear. I got home and found a ton of pics from this big bear. The guy is actually sleeping there sometime. I guess the corn didn't come out fast enough and he pulled the motor down and all the corn hit the ground. I'm going out tomorrow to remove the feeder and hang one from a cable. I hope!!!! he hasn't destroyed it before I get it out.
Here's a couple pics.

They are nothing but trouble. Get ready for destroyed trail cams, chewed up tree stands, destroyed food plots, destroyed fruit trees, etc.

There was a story on the news that a bear was spotted somewhere in Middle Tn. last week. You guys need to keep those donut eating nuisances on your side of the plateau. Is there a bear deterrent out there? Like grizzly urine or something?
 
I went out today and removed my feeder and replaced it with a feeder hung from cables. He did not show up yesterday on my cam pics, but I got my feeder out before he destroyed it. This is in Overton Co. I talked with a farmer near by and he saw two bears in his hay fields the other day. I was hoping there were no hogs or bears on this property. I had a bunch of hogs and bears on our hunting club. They are a real pain!
I'll shut down my feeder's soon, so hopefully he'll move on...I hope.
 
Thank goodness, I haven't had the bear back since posting the pics. I hope he stays gone.
Here's the new feeder I hung, I don't think he can mess this one up.
