If you came across this on private property? I got out of there as I had followed fresh footprints to it. I had passed it going up the ridge and must have spooked the guy out because on the way down on the other side I picked up his tracks and followed it here!!
I called the guy running the property and he said take it down and take it home!!. I left the guy a note letting him know I was there, but Im sure he was watching me seeing as how the tracks were very recent!! Ladder is about 20 yards away from feeder. Feeder is full!
