Put the feeder up higher or enclose the feeder in wire mesh. 2 x 2 or 2x4 in welded wire should be large enough for the birds to get through but not an Elk.

Easy solution. Here in BC we have bear problem. My bird feeder goes up out of their reach summers and down in the winter. Safe unless you get the big bear who can reach over eight feet. Happened once.

EASY solution! Raise the feeder higher than the Elk can reach, even if you need to use a step ladder and hang it from a higher tree branch?

Springtime. I forgot to bring the feeder at night.

Hint. They will not climb trees.

They will not climb trees? I've got photos that prove that's not correct.
