I’ve used ammonia with dogs that liked to get into trash cans Just put a soup can on top or inside the trash can and when the ammonia is spilled the super sensitive nose will burn and eyes will water Job done Maybe I can throw some of that Chinese mustard in there. It’ll surenuff clear the sinuses 😁
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

Congrats on the bears you just found a great excu...uhh reason to buy another gun or three. I'm thinking .338 mag for the house and .45 colts for you and Mrs.Irish. 44 mag would work but everyone's got one of those. I understand bears are related to pigs so I'm sure any pork recipie would translate. Welcome to retirement.
Skinny is my EX.Alcohol was involved.

How did it get the ratchet strap off? Chewed it? Get you a can like the ones at Desoto SP. Found it! Looks like the ratchet strap held, but he managed to get some stuff out. I guess I got to get some pants on now and go down there. I've thought of all the stuff I can do: More straps, install some anchors in the block wall and chain it to the side of the house, and in reality, it might just be best to go in with some other folks and switch over to a common shared dumpster. Cain't have nuthin'. Im no help for bear deterrence but That's a nice view. Life's good.

Keeping the can in the garage is a good idea. ... If we had a garage. I do like the idea of building a little shed for it though. I may try that if my new plan of chaining it to the house, and locking the lid shut doesn't work. That will be plan C. Apparently the locking dumpster didn't work all that well either. They hit it pretty hard last night and all the other garbage cans in the hood too.

We’ve had bears get into our can a couple of times, but I started throwing a cardboard box on top of the garbage and pouring ammonia on the box. Haven’t had any problems in a couple of years.

I bought ammonia at Lowes this morning. $2 a bottle. That's going in there today.

If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

What about the trash can containers like they use in Gatlinburg? The ones I've seen are a steel mesh enclosure with a heavy spring loaded lid. We have to use the cans provided by the service.

Irishguy vs The Bear Episode 3 So I looked through my collection of stupid guy stuff that we never throw away and came up with a couple of ideas, but it still required 2 trips to Lowes for the other pieces that I knew I had, but just couldn't find... 😃 Bolted the refuse receptacle and bear smorgasborg to the CMU wall using 1/4" wedge anchors and double loop chain, I used a similar set-up to hold the top closed. As an added treat I poured cleaning ammonia on top of the delicious contents. Y'all are probably betting against me in the office pool, but... Your turn Yogi...
