- Black Bears are hanging around my pig pen hoping for a free meal! I have it set up with an electric fence and was able to capture some photos of one getting a bit close to the fence...... Hopefully he learned his lesson and wont come back for seconds.

Great idea for everyone living off grid to protect their animals . Great video thank you for sharing ☺️
What a beautiful job!, that, “simple little pen”, required n amazing amount of work. From cleaning and brushing the area, to stripping and trimming the timber. Really, before you can even get started on the pen. Congratulations on a job well done.
I'd say he's *loaded for bear* .
Thankfully I never had to deal with bears. I live in Texas. I do deal with some not too bright cows in a electric fence. I found that adding a ground wire between the hot wires will keep even the dumb cows in and everything else out. I added more ground rods due to the dryness here. Great job on making use of what you have. Stay safe.
Great video and great workmanship there my friend. Here in northern Canada we have beer problems to including grizzly bears and we put down what we call a welcome mat which is plywood with nails or screws poking up through it so it tears them from even getting close to the fence which is also electrified. When the bear gets aggressive he just tears off the fence but if he can’t get to the fence because of the welcome mat then you’re doing pretty good. We also lay them down outside of the cabins when you close them up for the winter so when the bears come in to hibernate they don’t destroy your cabin or even in the spring they can’t get in
I’d love a picture of the welcome mats:)
Dayum good idea. Welcome matts
@@hellodollyseniorvisitsandd4982 Check out "Home Alone" Marv and the nail.
What’s the best nail/screw spacing and length?
Your thought process over the construction of your pig pen is awesome and implemented it to prefction
I have used electric fence to protect crops from many animals. You were very wise to get a big charger. Look into simple springs and wire tensioners. They make working with the wire much easier. Also smear a little peanut butter on the wire to train the bear. A zap to the tongue will be very effective. Best wishes.
"Little pig, little pig, let me in!"
"Come at us, bro!"
LOL!!!
One tip I would give you is attach your ground wire to the fence. This way in dry conditions you know if something hits the fence and hot wire it will be full power.
Very smart,beautiful place,nothing like peace and quiet.
That electric fence kept the bear away from bacon? Sold.
You could build a really solid shelter inside the pen with a small pig sized opening so the pigs can hide if the worst should happen
" And I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow the electric fence down " --- the Bear
excellent video, thank you!
You made an amazing pig pen! Really nice.
Good Job!
Nice set up.
That was more than he could bear.
I should get this for my bike to protect it from thieves.
Bears don't have insulated pliers like people do. One snip, bye bike
@@lucyfuir6386 but who would bring insulated pliers when they steal a bike, normally people that steal aren't very bright
@@bethanygarns4590 only if they are bad at it. A good theif has prepared and brought the right tools
Only dirt rusty crumbling old bike is safe.
I liked the "Ha-Ha" look the pigs gave the bears a couple of times!
@Telephone Tales Not hardly. I did 17 years as a Deputy. The picture doesn't show the inscription fully. The unique flag is designed with the Thin Blue Line and the American Flag with texts that reads "Duty, Honor, Courage - Blue Lives Matter." My son is a Master Sargent with the Highway Patrol. His wife is a Prosecuting States Attorney, formerly clerked for the State Supreme Court. My other Son served 14 years on Fast Attack Subs. My Great.......Grandfather was a Revolutionary War Soldier who served under General Cook. We're a Patriotic family.
@Telephone Tales I hope Eric Talley's widow and his 7 children never have to realize there are people like you. God Bless my fallen Brothers and Sisters.
A friend of mine had a number of bear breakins on his chicken coop. He installed an electric fence and wraps the wire with some bacon strips. He said the fence is a more effective deterrent if the first jolt they get is through the mouth instead of through their fur.
arcticwanderer2000 this bear got it on the nose first hit and never came close again. The pigs made it thru the summer and are in the freezer now. I’m not raising any this season but will for sure next spring. I’ll keep it in mind. Thanks for watching.
Or, I've heard, without adding bear attractant like bacon, just tie some colourful short flagging ribbon in the centre of the line and the bear will likely sniff that and get zapped in the nose or mouth that way (instead of through the insulating fur which may reduce the shock energy as mentioned).
A reverse Jurassic pork! 😁 nice job!
Human ingenuity @ its best. Love it
Awesome pig pen! Very stout and love how you used the timber from your land. I don't get why this video has so many dislikes. Well done and thank you for the video!
The city animal lovers lol. They are usually vegetarian and Democrats lol I believe those are the thumbs down
@@terrywhithouse115 ,and they want him to feed the bear.
It’s not just the vegetarians, vegans, and animal lovers, it’s the fact that he doesn’t even show the bear getting shocked. Instead of showing a video, he put time-lapse photography of the bear, not getting shocked. He probably got more than half of the thumbs-down due to that.
Ahh the good old days of the dislike button
Pigs came out to greet their relative.
The beauties of Red Neck engineering!
I salute you señor! Awesome work, thanks for sharing
25 years we've seen no bears at our cabin... the past couple years we've suddenly had 3 or 4. We don't have any domestic animals or pets but still a little bit of a worry. We'll see how this summer goes. Nice job on the video.
Jenny Girl thanks for the comment and for watching. Hope it works out with the bears... they can be a nuisance.
They're being purposely introduced by conservation.

More like 12:43
Thanks!
Very nice. Good work. Congrats
New farm is in black bear country. Great video. Will be trying these out when I get home.
Bears think it’s Shocking what they must do for some Pork around there.
There's no such thing as a bad pun.
It's not a pun, but I didn't know what to call it. DON'T JUDGE ME, MAN!
@@joelspringman7748 so it’s still,PUNNY then right? 😂
@@1OFGODSOWN
Ya, at least you made the effort.
What we don't have in quality, we make up for in quantity.
Don’t know how I ended up watching..??
But it was pretty cool video for someone who never would normally watch, . Very nice property.. luv the trees.. Kool set up and awesome recycling..very nice 😊
Nice job. I have a similar set-up for my honey bees here in up-State NY. Never ending battle with them.
hiya my wife is from the adirondacks was amazed how many people had electric fences around their bee hives there. Im from maine and we just shoot them here.
@@jdenmark1287 Really.....fill the freezer with the Raiders. 😂😂😎
@@jdenmark1287 your just lazy and would rather kill then do something to not hurt the bears. U idiot
@@rodleyeriffe9149 crawl in the freezer with them
@@kellybelanger3685 Sure thing, sunshine. Love bears, hate people. Snowflakes are always hypocrites.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. I can only dream of living in a place like that.
Moises Hernandez thanks for watching, more on the way soon!
Nice job. Glad to see it worked!
That bear is probably jealous that isn't his home.
That's how I felt when my doctor said no more bacon.
Nice set up!!
You did a great job 👍
Well ain't you crafty! Nice job.
All this work and you missed the highlight shot -- the bear getting shocked. That's what makes a video like this better.
This bear won't likly go to that same point of interest but likely will return. I wont call bears smart , but they are persistent.
And they are getting more and more predatory for flesh
100%👍
I think u just contradicted yourself do u even live in bear county cause those bears will come back every chance they get to see if those chicken are on the menu
Bears certainly aren't stupid.
@@darkwolf2622 How do you know?
Excellent work and video.
It’s a bit like me going to the drive through only to find out it’s closed
That was a young skinny bear. I felt sorry for it. You can tell he is starving. Nice pig pin buddy.
I was ready for the bear to catch fire from touching the fence, instantaneous combustion.
Wow that's scary stuff lucky they are so protected well done
Nice planning and work. Very smart Sir.
@2:17 "dig your holes - burie your poles" 😂😂
Man an electric fence between a bear and bacon. He must not like bacon as much as I do. They would find me, all my hair burnt off, chewing on some BACON. 😂😎
Rodley E Riffe You and me both!
BBQ pork ribs!
@@lilithbelle2051 Just ate those tonight for dinner!!
😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
lol!
I’d put some cameras watching my pigs, and a lot of solar lights and keep some shot guns by each door
Great job on you pen! The shade looks like a great water collector, directly into a trough. Dang it, that's a big bear!
Great job, all the way around!!! Well done!
I was thinking the same. I'd route that right into a barrel to then feed into that watering system
My husband built our pig hut and goat house each from pallets and siding metal. Who lives in them? The chickens. 🙄
Flea Christenson always the way! Lol
LITTLE PIG LITTLE PIG. Let me in ,, let me In ,, Not all the hairs on mY ChinnY ChiN CHiN lol
This man has quilted himself a crazy pig pen.
I guess he got quite the zap cuz that small area you have electrified will increase the intensity of the jolt.
yeah guessing is all we can do since we couldn’t see. I was expecting to actually see it get zapped
@@1topfueldrag They might have the best sense of smell of all North American wild animals . Maybe it smelled electricity !
The bear got to work for his bacon.
The bear was just trying to rescue the pigs! Lol!!
Good job working with what ya have!🤗
He didn’t want any pork after that zap. Lol
Your pen and design is brilliant🌟👍🏻
Pigs being smart af would learn not to touch the fence.
I work in the oil field. If we need to we will secure our camp site. And one day I was on the receiving end. It's quite the jolt. Kinda like you been grabbed. Got my attention.
That looks like prime bigfoot territory.
Looks at thumbnail and title...
“Ok I’ll bite”
look at 12:51 then 12:52, I'd say he got bit.
‘If I decide to take my pigs to the butcher’. If I take my pigs to the vet. If I take my pigs to the grooming parlor. If I take my pigs to the movies. If I take my pigs to see grandma . . . 😃
Looks like the same bear, i would off added another line of electric wiring on the top beam just for added protection
Thanks for the information..... Keep up the videos.
Great idea
Husbantry. Well done.
That’s a skinny bear. Can you imagine how delicious the porkers smelled to it? It can’t be easy for them to find a good meal.
o my gosh I love this fence. I think I may be able to do it. As a female just purchasing 19 acres and needing much fencing , its mostly forrested so I have lots of trees. Wish you did a while vid on just making the fence for us noob females.....great vid.
God bless an peace, hope its goin good, that 19 acres sounds like a good nice place
Bears are smarter than you think.
Really great designed pig pen
“Hey Yogi I don’t think you should touch that fence!”. “ Ah don’t worry Boo-Boo, I’m just looking for, like a picnic basket!!!”.
Awesome job
I thought the whole video was interesting and shared on facebook. Keep them coming, your presentation and explanations of what you did is geat. it looks like a very appealing environment to me and quite different from what we get in New Zealand. And we ain't got no bears!
Ken Richardson thanks for the comment and for sharing.
That is a small bear Last week I stepped out of my barn and there he was a big boy 30' away he just walked away as I slipped into the barn he didn't even look twice at the chickens loose in the yard ( PHEW ) He was something to see I hope he has many more years
Everybody's always got a bigger one ? Pictures or it didn't happen!
I'm amazed @ your level of building. Nice work, & good job! Says a lot about you. Thanks.
Very good idea, good luck
The smell of sour grain seeps far into the woods, it's more likely that's what's got his attention, bacon is probably just an opportunity.
I agree 100%. Thanks for watching.
Dispatch the pigs!
Yes, master.
They are smart. I hope he doesnt figure out the on/off switch just outside the door on your building. BUT your setup does look very well thought out. Good luck !
snugbug that’s what I was thinking, if the bear watches the video he will just open the switch.
Trump will be calling .He wants the same set up around the White House!! Lol
@@angelajohnson6659 😄
@Angela Johnson Bidey the Pooperman will let them in the back way
Nice music. Great footage. More footage and music brother man.
The electric fence should work pretty good but a 30 odd 6 would work a whole lot better not only that it would take care of your bear problem but it'll be meat for the freezer
Good job! Better safe than sorry
Black bear...the Usual Suspect.
last summer I had a black bear go thru my 2 strand electric fence 6 different times.
the fence surrounds a empty pasture with nothing in it.
it was just in the way of where he wanted to go.
I would opt for four wires minimum if you really want to keep the bears out. If two wires, the bear will try and go through. If shocked he will either back up or continue through, and most likely continue through. If four wires he will approach more slowly and more than likely get zapped earlier in the process before trying to scoot through. Tying on bright strips of cloth, typically white, or fluorescent surveyors tape at intervals along the fence row often slows their progress as the flash made by the strips in the wind current unnerves them. If you have horses, it will keep them off the fence as well and stop new arrivals from running through it.
I have seen photos of cars that were ripped open by black bears who looked in the window and recognized the shape of a cooler inside. They have claws like can openers. I have seen a video online here of someone who took a leg of a deer or something, and hung it up, electrified it, and filmed what would happen. The bear kept coming back and testing, until finally disconnecting the electric source and taking off with the reward.
If the bear is hungry enough, or maybe sick or wounded and can't hunt, it will be back for easy prey. I hope this system works.
monday850 this set up worked, two bears came in and both left empty bellies.... although like another viewer said if they want it bad enough they will get it.
I have seen the Black Bears get into the Pig Pen many times. They just eat the Pigs food, the dried corn. They leave the pigs alone. The bears Don't want any Trouble
patrick dennisb your right they are more interested in the feed.... but I do know a local that did have one of his pigs taken by a bear. I’ll keep playing it safe. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Bear gotta eat !
Love it, don't have bears in my area best to my knowledge, but coyotes and mountain lions.
Beekeepers have been leading the way with this for years...but bears have always figured their way around it..….To avoid the electric fence, one bear, in South Georgia, dug under the wire and into the hives! Next to feral hogs, bears are, possibly, the next most destructive animals around....sometime they appear to destroy things just for the hell of it......they can wreck a water melon field or, even, a corn field.....intelligence and strength are their allies.
Great job .
one problem you need extra gound wire on top detering climbing just keeping a shock with out animal touching the earth just add grounded wire six inches from hot parallel at top and in middle that bear is thinking about that bacon
Nice job 👍
Thanks for sharing
I am amazed at how many views and not more folks subscribed! Thank you for sharing.
The pigs told the bear. I'm a hog for you baby
“As level as I can make it” hahaha My kinda thinking!
Pigs seem to tease the bear from behind the fence
Dear 5 year plan,
Thank you for not killing the bears.
11minutes 43 seconds of my life gone like that
Me too!
And just think of every time you stand in line and wait .
