Post by: bwgdc on May 05, 2014, 06:33:04 PM: 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.

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

Post by: Broozer5 on May 18, 2014, 05:42:41 PM: 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?
