I have a similar rig, but my squirrels haven't figured out that trick. I hope they're not looking in on this. :lol:

Animals are not dumb at all. While sitting in a deer stand the chipmunk stood up and stared like it just froze then I seen why a bear was comming. Me and my older brother would carry 5th avenue candy bars with us in the woods while we walked hunting and we would feed every chipmunk we saw a small piece of the 5th avenue candy bar. After a few days of walking down the trails it was like they were waiting for us to feed them. Another funny story is there were 3 of us in an orchard bear hunting it was very quiet for about 30 minutes then the chipmunks were bouncing off the trees and all going crazy running all over the place it just came to life from being so quiet I knew right away my older brother was feeding them and as we walked out my other buddie asked me what was up with the chipmunks I told him my brother was feeding them pieces 5th avenue candy bars. He got mad and said we'll never get a bear doing that. The following year we got a bear and my buddie wasn't with us and when the rug was done we stuffed the mouth with 5th avenue wrappers and showed it to my buddie and we all had a good laugh. So the moral to my story is if you want to make friends with animals 5th avenues is the key!!!! They also like Captain Crunch peanut butter too!! BigBill

Wish I could do this, but I've had problems with squirrels before, so any that come into the yard get shot most of the time. That, or the cats/crows get them.
