Are you trying to sell these? If so, you need to be a sponsor of the site. PM Bearpaw for more info. Thanks.

Looks pretty good. What is the reasoning for them hanging and what do you attach them to up in the air? Better opportunity at shot or judging of size? I just bolted mine to the base of the tree..

it goes from the hand winch to a limb above with a block back to the barrel. the distance from the top of the barrel to ground about 4to 5 feet the reason so I don't get little cube s trying to climb in the hole. i don't put it down low or on the ground any more because one time they broke the chain and rolled the feeder down the hill about 500 yards I thought someone stole it looked for me 2 weeks to find it..

Why would he have to be a site sponsor? Why couldn't he just sell them in the classifieds? I have family in Idaho. I'd be all over it if they were for sale.

I set the timer on the feeders to open the barrel at 7 in the morning a close at 7 at night you can set the timer for any time you want you train the bears to eat on your time not when want...

coop2424 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 09, 2014, 12:35:29 PM »

I did not realize you had this set to open and shut at a certain time.. That is awesome and would be huge advantage over my always open bait...

That reminds me of the bird feeders that are close to the ground so they become bird/cat feeders.

I was lucky enough to hunt over their feeder lid a few years ago to get my first bear. They told me basically exactly what to expect. Sitting around looking through all sorts of trail camera pictures, I figured that we would have a pretty good chance to get a bear. Once we set up on the bait, I was told to take which ever bear I wanted to kill. Turns out I liked the first bear to come in, and was able to shoot it from a tree stand as it was getting ready to dig in. The only problem is that the entire hunt took all but 5 minutes! Lots of fun for sure.
Could you ship one of these to a buddy in Alaska?
