I have a problem with a bear that keeps destroying my ground blind. Last year I set my ground blind out and when I went to use it, the blind was crushed. I suspected a bear, but I wasn't absolutely positive. This year after repairing my blind and putting a camera out, I got a picture of a good sized bear on my camera. For a couple of weeks now, I have the bear on camera and when I went out yesterday once again my blind is crushed. Does anyone know how I can keep the bear from crushing my blind, other than killing it during bear season?

I don't agree with the nails in the board. That just don't sound right. Yeah, it may be a deterrent, but it may cause infection. These game animals deserve our respect and poking their paws with nails does not seem like the best idea to me. I can't help with any great ideas, but maybe setting up an electric fence around it would be a better? If it were me, I'd switch to just making a ground blind with natural materials. That or just take SWThomas' advice. LOL!
