Before anyone cries brutality or anything, these "unwelcome mats" are recommended by the DOW, bear management folks, etc. - as long as they are built correctly. 1/2" - 3/4" of the screw showing above the plywood on a 2" grid.
Saw them put all the screws outward on outbuilding's door hinges, etc. on one of the Alaska reality shows.
