I'll bet the would.  Though I sure a 3" 14 gauge post fill with concrete 
and cemetted to bedrock with rebar gussets should with stand the bears.  
I wondering more about what gauge steel plate I should use fabricate the 
bird feeder and weld it to the top of the post.  Feeder will only be 
about 6 feet off the ground so it's visible from inside the house.
