Only if you can put it where the bear cannot reach. We have 1-2 bears that patrol our yard on a nightly basis.

I frequently forget to put my birdfeeder out in the AM and on occasion, accidently leave it out over night. As bears have surely been up and about for a while now, is it safe to put it up and leave it up? Thanks, J John Walker East Thetford, VT [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
