Biography
We manage a 40 acre wildlife area of the Texas Hill Country in the Edwards Plateau at about 3030 ft above sea level. The region is notable for its karst topography and tall rugged hills of limestone. The terrain throughout the region is punctuated by a thin layer of topsoil and a large number of exposed rocks and boulders, making the region very dry and prone to flash flooding. Native vegetation in the region includes various yucca, prickly pear cactus, native grasses and wildflowers. The predominant trees in the region are Ashe Juniper, Shin Oak and Texas Live Oak. Soil is alkaline consisting of caliche and clay.

We do wildlife management.

That means we keep the wildlife wild though we feed them away from where we live.

We have food plo9ts planted for the wildlife.

We furnish water away from where we live,

We provide food, water and shelter.

I am not sure how to furnish bears shelter?

I can see that my vitex tree/plant has survived a couple of drought years and is about a foot or more tall now.
Do you have wild edible plants on other parts of your property that you could encourage to multiply thus helping feed the bears and discourage them from coming into your living space?

Some plants are easily encourage to multiply by using "layering" and I believe berry bushes are some that do.

We only purchase Food Saver machines and bags.

Why not encourage more of those plants so maybe there will be enough for you and the bears?

Or plant more in a more inconvenient place?
