I had some peanuts on it last week, maybe he found them. I'm sitting in a chair blind about 25 feet from the stump. These guys out in the woods are really skittish. This is the first time I've been this close to one by the water hole. I love this blind!  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Steve

It seems to be working for you. Nice shot. Thanks Stan, I bought a chair blind from cabellas for about $79. Has a nice camp chair connected to the blind, all sets up in about 1 minute. Large enough for a tripod in front of you. 4 vent flaps on the sides with screens to let in air. Front opening zips to desired openness. I like it.....photo for you following this post. Steve
