Maybe I didn't have the trail cam set optimally, but at least I did get six short clips that give me an idea of what transpired. The first clip starts after he's already moved the rocks, tested the bin, and now thinking. I don't know why the camera didn't pick up on him moving the rocks. This is the second clip, taken 12 minutes later.
Nearly 8 minutes after that, the camera picks him up again as he makes what I believe is another serious attempt to get seed from the feeder. Lee watched the video and sees his tongue trying at a spot that Lee had figured was the closest he could come to the seed. However, I don't think he succeeded or we would've seen a repeat of the action.
Failing in that, he makes a perfunctory attempt at checking out the hanging feeder, which likely he had done sometime in the past, without success.
One last attempt at the bin feeder a few seconds later.
The last clip shows him just standing there, defeated (I'd like to think). I wish I'd gotten more clips. I think I had the settings right. For some reason the camera didn't detect him all the time.There was no bear scat anywhere, and no return visits (the past 2 nights) after that first night with the spikes and bars added, so I consider the battle won at long last!

Whoo Hoo!!
Yay! Success after all this time!
You did it! Good for you guys.
Yay
Great to hear! Celebrate!
Bandwidth is getting very expensive and service companies employ methodologies and algorithms to reduce cost by reducing bandwidth. That is why some scenes are missed. That's what I have deduced.
