May 21, 2005 - One Very Exciting Platform-less Mat test!
Posted by Zach Glenwright under Backyard Bag Feeder Project, Edited Feeds (SD), Squirrels
Another platform-less mat test! The test on the 19th did so well that I decided to do it again… same deal as before, same basic amount of food (a small bit on the bottom as well, just to see if they’d notice it) and the same panhead setup… this day went on much longer than the 19th though! A squirrel that I dubbed MDS (Mrs. Destructive Squirrel), who was collectively named Patches (because of the interesting patches of fur on it’s back) destroyed the project completely, getting all of the food out, without any problem of it not being bolted down to anything - and that in itself was an interesting thing to see, because she drug it halfway around the yard to get to it! This way of doing the project is a very interesting thing to watch but it’s essential to both use a panhead, and of course, be there as it’s happening! It was a little more annoying sound-wise however, as I can’t move the mic with the project, so as the project gets dragged away from it, the sound from the shotgun mic is a little less reliable.
