[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1350003, member: 229"] So I got her hung up yesterday similar to Tjones method, but its clear that I'm going to need a come-along or hand-winch (I replaced the hand-winch on my little Bass Tracker when I got it and am seriously pissed at myself for throwing the old one away now - that was genius man). I didn't put up the pulleys because I didn't have enough extra cable to mount them, so I've got some work to do next time I replace the corn (cables are just stretched over the branches and tied down to a big hook on the side of the tree). With it going off twice a day for about 15 secs (and spitting out approx 1Lb of corn for each 5-sec interval), and I got a little less than 40Lbs of corn in the bucket, I should be out there every 5-6 days (I'll go out early the first time just to make sure I don't run out). So I'll probably get it down to about 10secs and stretch it out to every 10 days. Good smaller first-time feeder solution (I spent $55 on the feeder and went the extra $15 on the bucket because it was camo - I think I might have $10 in hardware with the cable and pulleys - if I can find a cheap hand-winch, I'll be in business for under $100) and I definitely appreciate everyone's help on this. I'll post pics when I get out there again. [/QUOTE]
