    My first attempt a couple years back didn't really work. I'd like to try another in a different location this year and see if I have better luck.

    Here is mine. Been wanting to do one for a while and just got it in today. I've got the rope licking branch on it too.

    I'll give it a few weeks before I start to do anything with the rope scrape setup and scent. I figure I'll let the chainsaw and human scent go away first.

    Looks good. Hopefully a monster will rip it out.

    Think it would work in the back corner of a bean field?
