We had one of our feeders knocked down with bite mark on the lid.

Have seen bear tracks in our property

Other than becoming another Bear Whisperer, I don't know what else you could do.

Being a bear whisperer didn't work out very well for the last one though.

There's a season when I see one of those fricks on my place.

I will declare it "Bear season right now" and it's closed

we have this problem near Weeks Island. Only thing you can do is stop feeding. They chewed through 2x4's on our ladder stands for no apparent reason.

Once my BIL knew that we had a bear come on our place he pretty much carried a Q beam and his .40 with him to and from the stand.

I walk to and from my stand without a flashlight

Hang the feeder from a tree limb with a rope. High off the ground, and far out on the limb

The bears around Tensas do the same thing. We had to check the wood ladder stands the day before hunting them to make sure you could get in the stand. I think they just like the way the treated lumber tastes...
As for the feeders, some have switched to rice bran in troughs or buckets vs a corn feeder.

Quit feeding, or get used to bears/coons/pigs eating your corn.
