timber cruiser you read my mind....last year i welded up a metal l pole to hang my feeder on and the friggin bear climber the damnded thing....this turkey season i walked up some guys stand where he did exactly what you described....you must be the guy....thanks for putting your stand in my favorite spot....lolol.....as far as cotton seed goes....does it kill the bears?......could you imagine what game and fish would have to say about that one.....holy crap...i think i would have better luck explaining why i shot the bear......friggin bears.....florida needs to open a season on them again.....statewide.

as a side note....did anyone see the girl who got eaten by the gator in silver glen on lake george?...the news did a story on her, showing her mother in tenn or pa or somewhere....and mom gets on tv saying she was an artist, an animal lover, a vegetarian...peta type person......lol.....hate to see anyone die....but isnt that one ironic.
