I should start posting more on a regular basis again, lotta weird stuff going on in some of my areas,,,,,,,I set up a Gift Tree in a location on the edge of a ravine overlooking a creek below, that I believe BF's are using to observe/ambush wildlife. I starting leaving cool rocks and skulls there back in October 2017, and every few weeks similar items would be left for me. It started getting interesting when I hung a basket in there, and started leaving jars of Peanut Butter, with the first jar in early December. Nothing touched the jar for about a month, and now they are being taken within a day or two of putting a new one out there......I'm on jar #8 now. I started with creamy PB, first 2 jars and has a red lid, now I use crunchy, and with a blue lid. I mention the lid color because I have found a few of the lids while hiking, and 2 were miles away. Now I am writing the date on the inside of the lid with a Sharpie, wish I had done that from the beginning:)
I have a lot of pics documenting this, but here's an interesting one, and found near the Gift Tree in some brush. Whoever took this one evidently didn't know how to unscrew the lid, and looks like it was bitten off, but no evidence of canine teeth. I collected it in a baggie because there appears to be some dried slobber on it........has anyone ever seen a similar type lid removed in such a way? Also, I found both early red creamy lids and another blue, but they had been unscrewed with no damage.
Picture of the bitten blue lid, and one of the better tracks directly under the Gift Tree, another track close by, and appears to be the same individual.
If you guys are interested in hearing more about this, I'll add more pics to the next post.
Also, anyone with a similar situation, please chime in!
Here's a pic of the Gift Tree showing the basket, rocks, and skulls that 'we' have collected:)
