You can see him thinking.

Dude...that's scary as hell. You better call DNR and WIS. And for the love of God, get the children out of the area.

Only thing cooler would be him walking over to that winch and lowering it down,
now that would be classic

So did he get the picnic basket?

That's awesome

He did not get the picnic basket. This feeder set up is the only thing I've found that is "bear proof."

I do normally remove the winch handle because on another feeder they figured out that if they mess with it the feeder will drop. This was in a new location and I didn't worry with it for some reason.

If anyone cares, the mechanism on the barrel is a drop feeder called the "ghost feeder." It has an actuator that slides open and drops the corn straight down. It makes a slight click when it opens and a slight clack when it closes. I like it better than a feeder with a spinner plate especially in this area that is pretty thick.
