Nice lookin rubs,hard to tell how fresh they are from pics. Look like cedar trees. That's always a good sign. Could be a bruiser lurking in those bottoms. Good luck next season.

Sounds like you are amongst em! Now is a good time to be doing lease work without the skeeters, snakes, and good ole ET humidity working on ya. Am headed to the lease this am to put out a homemade portable ground blind for this year. Made it out of stock panels, burlap, and camo netting. Got 50 bucks in a 4x4 blind. I used to hunt in Linden area some gooduns there. Good luck!

Looking good. Just a thought that short of a feeder you may have a problem with the hogs knocking the timer off or simply knocking it over....

That and the coons may empty it in a week for you. I had them empty 300 #'s in a week last season. I had to convert to hanging feeders to keep them off of them.

We had hogs on all our cass county spots, we use t-posts and wire the legs to them, works well. Met one of the game wardens this morning close to the lease, real nice pleasant fella as most of them are.

Might want to buy some cheap, flexible metal tubing for that solar panel wire. Damn coons bit mine in half twice and the battery ran down without my realizing it. PITA!!! Now I no longer have that problem. Stuff like this: http://cableorganizer.com/conduit/flexible-conduit.htmI was able to pick them up in shorter lengths from the last TTHA Extravaganza. Some vendor that was there had them all prepped and ready to install on your feeder.

^2 on the coon chewing. We have had to buy the metal cable insulators and tie them to the feeder barrel because they will hang on it until it breaks.
