Walker570 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Like that target holder. Good idea and I might just pinch that idea. Nice result I often find a rush of customers, then it goes all quiet. I had just one this morning, but I have shot a lot off that spot. Two came and I am pretty certain the second one has a 17HMR scratch down one side as it jumped to one side and then very slowly crawled back up the tree but I didn't have a carcase so cannot count it. 1345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 4 today very early in the morning before 7am but then it got hotter and hotter and almost everything took cover. Stuck it out till 1.30pm and the humidity and heat was not pleasant so set off home. Disappointed because one of the flip tops in a new wood had almost been cleaned out, but didn't get to that till late morning. Next week maybe. 1354 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was half the distance I am I would do just that AND provide the sustenance. I have a little outing planned for Saturday morning if it keeps dry which may solve the problem as I have not ben there for a month. 31 minutes ago, Mice! said: I'll bet you've shot something??

old man Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Looks like August starting poorly, strange the feeder hit hard again, have they gone nocturnal? None seen even up in the tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) One yesterday after a 3 hour wait at the feeder and one this morning after a two hour wait. This one today was a very cagey large male with huge nuts. He took 2-3 minutes to come down the pine tree, stopping every couple of feet and checking all around at every stage. Eventually he settled down for his last meal. 1386 https://ibb.co/z6WdqsLhttps://ibb.co/KVTTSwQ Edited August 4, 2019 by Fisheruk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
