No believe it or not, it took her two days to get it down the first time ( with about 150 LBS in it) I put it back up, and two days later she took it down again this time only took a few mins cause she already ate all the corn in it the first time LOL, but luckly both time not a scratch on the feeder and it still works like new, now I didn't put it back up the third time cause I just figured my luck had probably run out, probably putting it back up this weekend ;-) havn't seen her in three weeks
