All Set Now
Finally got the new pen trap built, and a feeder inside.


Here's the view in the other direction:



And here is some of the "sign" within 100 yds of the trap:





Do you think I'll be busy?

Couldn't be a much better setup if you'd
tried.

Let's see how long it take's 'em to find
the golden seeds.
then it's up to YOU!

I laid a trail from that last wallow back to the trap, and around the swampy section of the tank. Only problem I see is the cows will try and pick up each and every kernel of corn on the ground--

Landowner said there is a big one rooting on top of his other tank dam and Sunday night is a full moon. Nice hillside seat about 80 yds away to sit and watch too--

Keep us posted, please.

This, IMO, is the only type of trap that is worth doing.

Pulled the camera card last night--all that has been in the trap is blackbirds. The other feeder, about 300 yds away had traffic a couple of nights--big boys.

sometimes things just don't figure.

Perfect looking setup. Maybe they've been
spooked or changed directions.

Don't give up though. Check it now and then,
sooner or later they'll come along again.

Now here is my other setup for bow hunting--hogs have already been there last 3 nights too. Not as light as it appears as the camera flash filled in quite well.



Here is what the targets look like in the new lighting.

shouldn't be any problem hitting such
targets as those.

Do you have an old rusty tin can?
That's the real question!

When you arrow them do you look for them in the dark or wait til the next day?

Palidun-I track them starting about 15 minutes after I stick 'em, or maybe 30 minutes if I don't like my shot.

rusty can.

Trying to tease you into getting such
a can is all.
