    Was bummed to find my feeder totally destroyed this morning. recovered the legs, battery, & programmer. No sign of the barrel, or solar battery charger. Unfortunately, this was the only pic I got. The other cam in the area didn't pic him up as, it's quite bit further away. Wished the HD would've been the cam to take the pic, & grab a vid but, no luck.

    Have some decent pics of deer, & buck with one broken antler dangling....we've named him Forrest Gump. I'll sort through em all & post some up later.

    right now, Im trying to figure out how to bear proof a new feeder....:rant:

    Nah man. Can't hunt over bait here. Feeder was coming down in two weeks anyways, just not the way I envisioned taking it down...lol. Unfortunatley it was raining last night too, so the pic isn't very good.

    I've got a bunch of running around to do this afternoon but, will get some other pics up later tonight.

    If you are referring to the black lines, I think those are the legs of the feeder.

    LOL I share the same problem with Bears , its not to hard to bear proof , just alil aggravating , the best thing to do with your feeder is hang it between 2 trees run a cable from tree to tree and run a pully in the center for your feeder ...What state are you in im in wva cant bait bears here either , but they are frustrating to deal with we have tomany
