Well here goes, I checked the camera's today, deer, ravens' and a fisher visiting the bait pile, no bear or coyotes. Its black bear breeding season, the coyote pups should be weaned by now. The whitetail does will soon be dropping fawns,so the bear, coyotes, and bobcat will be hunting the fawns. The feeder is working fine at one second once I got the hole the right size. We have a 120lb grease barrel with the spin feeder attached to the bottom. Its on a cable with a boat winch to raise it the 18 feet or so to keep the bear from pulling it down. Overall I'm happy with it, just wish I would see some coyote's, although when the timber wolves move in that takes care of the coyote's.
