need help

well what can i do for a bear proof feeder ????
Iv got a ton of bears witch is a good thing in june but bad at the same time I want to get my put going good I was thinking of a feeder but it would not last long because of the bears any help would be nice

There isn't any bears anywhere close to me but I have an idea. Is there a way to secure a feeder down tight enough that a bear can't break it free? I would imagine that would almost be more work than its worth. If you make the hole small enough that only a coon can feed out of it and a bear can't break it free to roll it around you would have your answer... I'm just not sure about how to secure a feeder that tight... pretty sure a couple of deck screws to a tree won't hold it.

Take a rachet strap around your feeder and the tree. Not one of them little cheap ones you get at walmart I mean a good 2inch one like you would use on a big truck. If the bear rips that off then I don't know what to tell you.
