So went in to help a Buddy bait for his friend.
Always interested in seeing other peoples setups. Here's one I've never seen before.
The barrels are welded together and only the top barrel is open. It's not a setup that I would use but to each his own.

Unfortunately after about 3 weeks of baiting they were tree harvesting back there which put the Kibosh to that site. tuk d 1

I have a rather simple set up myself usually 3 barrels , 2 - 55 gallon barrels , one with a 4" x 6" hole just big enough for a paw to fit in , another "Shaker" barrel with about a 2 1/2" diameter hole and a smaller trough barrel with with dog food and an oats concoction . The 2 larger barrels
are tethered to trees with chain and swivels. I prefer the barrels which have the heavy duty ring and cover for ease of filling the barrels. I have elevated the barrel with some success to keep the coons and smaller bears from eating up the bait. Last season I added a smaller beer keg as another attraction to try and keep them at the site a little longer.
