One feeder mount I have never seen defeated is to use a four inch PVC pipe
(or larger) for the post, or slide the pipe down over the post. Try to get
the feeder around six feet off the ground, and far enough away the squirrel
can't jump from a tree or limb.
I have had one for at least 15 years, and it has plenty of small scratches
from attempts, but none have made it yet. In fact, nothing that does not fly
has been on it yet.
It is not bear proof!
