I have been shooting squirrels on a pheasant shoot for over a year now and have got a good many just "walking and Stalking" but it is difficult in the sumer months to achieve this because of the leaves on the trees. I have tried making a few feeders however I just cant seem to get them to feed off them. I put peanuts in it, and spread peanuts on the floor as well and peanut butter on the feeder and up the tree towards it. The peanuts on the floor and the Peanut butter on the trees is always gone but none ever take any nuts from the feeder and not even the butter off the roof of the feeder.
Does anyone have any advice on good designs, materials, bait etc. ?
I was also wondering if it might be that they have a dislike of cupranol- as I have painted them all in cupranol?
thanks in advance
