I think he is performing his gig at the Brainerd Ice fishing contest this weekend. I saw a few videos recently with this other guy.....and they work well together.....IMO. Sometimes you need the set-up man.
Saw a similar pic years ago that was said to be in the Mercer, Wi area who spread corn along his driveway.
But that kind of thing was real common at one time. I knew a family that had a 5k gravity bin at their cabin and had it refilled twice per year. Baiting and feeding were unregulated at the time…..and it was also preCWD.
Growing up in Northern Wisconsin this predates the heavy baiting/feeding the deer up there most deer traveled south of us and yarded in a large cedar swamp around spider lake. Then the feeding the deer craze hit hard up there probably in the 90’s and continued for nearly 3 decades no doe alive would still remember the annual pilgrimage to spider lake for the winter after 3 decades of easy winter feeding so deer numbers up that far north have taken a drastic beating since the baiting ban and the wolves even if they did remember where to go would wipe out a herd of deer yarded up in a very small area in ha heavy snow year. There was one year we hunted off snow shows there was so much snow by Thanksgiving this was not the norm for the heavy snow to hit that early but a year like that and wolves pretty much equally no or very few deer left come spring. My uncle last spring when I was up there said he had a lone fawn so scared of the wolves she wintered over under his raised deck behind the house all last winter. My brother and I jumped a doe mushroom hunting and it would just look at us and as long as we didn’t move toward it it was good with us being in the area it was so beat down from last winter it didn’t have the energy to spare running from us.
