Night before last ,a bear went thru the neighborhood and tried to get into our chicken house and then went onto my mothers deck and tore down two bird feeders. Not a real problem....just a passing thing.....
But last night bear was back (small about 75-100 lbs) any was trying to get into the chicken house again,it knocked down the prop holding the left door shut,we heard it and ran it off.
We removed all feed and secured the doors again...back again and it ripped the right door open-it was secured by dead bolts top & bottom,as well as a latch to the other door.
This time I screwed a board to the doors to hold them shut (mid-night ) a figured -no food ,no entry... Wrong 1/2 hour later back again and rips everything apart and got in to ransack the feed room area(food removed earlier) So screw it for the night..left everything open.. If it returns a hot lead application may be in order and then electric shock therpy....:farmer:
