    Bear scare. My wife called me right before left from work this morning saying that a big ass bear is going ape shit by our garbage box and shed (now the quail house) as we spoke. She's freaked out and I'm pissed thinking that he's gulping down my birds one by one. I do 100 MPH getting home. Luckily he only did a number on the garbage box and left the birds alone.

    The funny thing is that I was thinking of making some bear "unwelcome mats" today for the door and windows of the shed to keep them away. I definitely am now! I got lucky as hell.

    I'm not so much worried about bears smelling and wanting the birds, but there's a tray of feed in there at all times. That would be candy for them. The 50 lb. bag of feed is kept in our house. Glad I thought to do that or it would have been irresistable to a bear and I'd be building a new cage today.

    I heard rubber buckshot works well on bears...
