The Dead Zone.......
So I screwed a board onto a rail post on my creek bridge which had an opened container of peanut butter with the bottom cut open.
After 6 days absolutely nothing has touched it....no deer, raccoons or squirrels or other critters. Have a trail cam near the bridge to record any activity but guess when it is hot weather not much feeding activity. You would think animals would hang around the creek for a cool drink once and a while.

Re: The Dead Zone.......
Interesting results forty. Six days is a long time for such a tempting treat to go unmolested. I wonder how long that will last?

I cant keep peanut butter in my mouse trap in the back yard as the ants carry it off before the mice get to it.

Scheese, and here I thought you were talking about some zombie flick on netflix!
That is a spell for no critters to check it out.

Enjoying all the comments! I might make a trip down there next week and check it out again. Maybe try it again in the Fall.
Re: The Dead Zone.......
I think people that like peanut butter also put beans in their chili

Re: The Dead Zone.......
That chili looks darn good. Maybe a little peanut butter would enhance it more.

Re: The Dead Zone.......
Actually I put peanut butter on my crackers that I eat with my kidney bean chili. I'm just one of those guys that you don't want to introduce to your family I guess.
