Back County Boat Bears Eating Seats
« on: Apr 06, 2023, 08:06 PM »
Our boat got hit twice last summer by bears even after moving it after the first time.
Both seats are now toast. Spend alot of time in there during the spring and fall so proper seats are needed.

Any suggestions to keep the bears away?

Removable seats? Store them elsewhere?

Good idea.

Or maybe a few of these.

Not possible. Boats are brought in during the winter and the spring / summer trip is light travel.

Not sure how big the boat is but we used to hang flat bottom row boats in the trees in the Adirondacks on remote ponds to limit the porcupine damage. Those things would eat the aluminum like crazy.

Bears can be real troublemakers, huh? Try using bear spray around the boat
