I know FWC is watching the area, had a flyer on my door a few weeks back about keeping bears out of garbage. Wonder if they saw my can all chained up. Figure I best do everything possible to kepep em out. Dont want to be on the recieving end of a forcement call for feeding them.
Well that's them southern Orange City bears they don't know how to behave. Was having bear trouble every Wednesday night (the night before garbage pickup)Did you ever try an electric fencer. The first time I had bear trouble I put a wire with tinfoil around the can. Put some peanut butter on the tinfoil and fired up the fencer. I would have loved to have been there to see the bear lick the pb. They went away for a long time after that, just got tired of having to turn off the fencer every time I put out the trash.......................only forgot one time...................................
