Dony, you are right, the soybeans did not stop them. I turned off my feeder for 2 weeks and hand threw corn and dog food, the bears stopped coming.

Re: ACORNS
They key in on hearing the feeders. My buddy tossed corn and was getting up to 100 pics a day while the rest of us were getting squat at the feeders.
Re: ACORNS
The bears will eat them... Granted I poured stump licker on them but he ate 'em like they were going out of style. I have a ton of trees hat dropped acorns last year on my driveway and I swept 'em up and took 'em to camp. They disappeared pretty quick and it didn't cost anything but time. But I just threw 'em around or piled 'em up. No feeders.

Re: ACORNS
i could of sworn i saw some quiet feeders.. then again a bump feeder is good and quiet but if they find that, they are gonna rip it down. maybee throwing moth balls will keep them away,, i know it keeps cats away.. dont know what it would do to deer but hogs will probably eat them.. they eat anything.DONY1 wrote:They key in on hearing the feeders.

Re: ACORNS
another thing.. i will not say anything will keep bears away.. BUT.. i allways keep my feeders going on only in the morning for 3 seconds and didnt have a bear.. When you got alot of feed on the ground then theres some left for the bears ... The day i put my feeder on for 6 seconds day and night i had a bear that week. ON my new lease i have it only going off for 3 seconds in the morning. Ill see if my system is right in a couple months.

A search. Lets see momma in oak 15 feet away bending down a limb thicker than my arm. Oh wait it her weight bending it down. she in the oak tree cubs must be 30 feet up. I only have a bow. Don't move she has not seen me yet.
Re: ACORNS
I think I mentioned this already but if you don't want bears coming around never use stumplicker or any molasses type scents or your just asking for trouble or at the least a new feeder. We have a homemade PVC blind with nothing but a burlap wrap on it. I puts acorns and stumplicker down and 20 mins in my blind and I had a bear 75 yards away eyeballin me while it ate all my acorns. Not a comfortable feeling looking at a bear at eye level even 75 yards away! But he didn't like me as much as I didn't like him being there..

Re: ACORNS
I had that mama bear and her cub 10 to 15 feet directly under me. I could of stuck 4 mature bears that day all within 10 yards. I was defiantly on the wrong trail.

Re: ACORNS
This year was the largest acorn crop Ive ever witnessed. I have 13 oaks in my yard. I literally had acorns start dropping in September, and still have an odd one STILL dropping in the front yard

Re: ACORNS
