Aha, thanks. That will work fine then if the rain keeps killing my block. There is a little hump in the ground that is about a foot taller than the surrounding ground. I've put the block on top and the apples go just wherever. This is my first time with a camera out so I'm getting a kick out of the "what is it" since I don't have pics yet.

Maybe next time I'll build a little rock "hut" to cover the block. That would protect it from the main rain and still allow the animals to get to it.
Place the block at the base of a big fir or cedar tree under the boughs.

D-Rock: Get out of the casino and come on a walk and I'll show it to you.

Regarding the base of a tree. Not really an option at the site.

I don't think that will happen. If I recall from older posts he is completely against baiting. :dunno:

Well, looks like I have new friend. A doe and her two fawns. They love them some apples. Looks like between the three they ate all 42 lbs or so. Date and time are not correct on the pics. Went back out this morning and dumped a 50lb bag of sweet COB. Yeah for me.

yeah a friend of mine was using apples in the early season around winthrop and the wardens wanted to bust him for bear baiting  .. So i suggest do not shoot a bear if it comes to your deer bait ....

If I get a bear on apples I won't even be in the area with a bow or rifle. Just not going to take a chance on who is more believable. The guys with the apples or the guy with the badge.

You should put a sign up. " :hello: NO BEARS ALLOWED". That should work.
