My Paranoia Saved my ducks today!

Holy crap! No joke?? Yikes!!

Yes they are defiantly feisty little birds. Not as bad Eagles though. We had one stick around for a few weeks a few years back. During it's stay over a dozen cats and small dogs just "Vanished"

Your bear was after the dog food, I doubt it would mess with your ducks, The blk bear that comes around here was after the blk oil sunflower seeds in my bird feeders, after I Remember to bring them in each evening and my dh shot off the shot gun he hasn't been back as far as we know. But he came right up next to the house for the bird feeders and never went near the coop and it's right here too. I think it would have to be starving before it goes after our ducks and chickens. At least here anyway. But having outside dogs is as good or better than the predator lights I have flashing.

Yeah he was definitely after the food. Thus the reason for the locking ring on the barrel. Still does not mean that I want him 5 feet from my door. That is the third one in three months first 2 were grizzly but they never got that close. The dogs are my early warning system.... LOL they really do not bark at anything else except other predators. On another note, I heard from a neighbor that there is a cat that lives in the rocks about 2000 feet from me.... And it's not a house cat!
