get a bucket with a cap that cant come off easily

at the bottom drill about a 1 inch hole in it and put a pvc pipe in to match the sizeand have it stick out about 2 inches and be level on the inside

fill it with cheap dogfood and put it in the woods

I use a 5 gallon bucket with a soup/dog food can riveted to it...which makes it somewhat chew proof. Buckets can be found free at some restraunts or from farmers. I use a can opener to cut both ends off the tin can then I use tin snips to cut slits about 1 inch deep around the rim of the can. I space the slits about 1 inch apart then fold them out and rivet them to the bucket. It can be riveted on the inside or outside. Both work great! See examples below. Enjoy and happy hunting!

I just drill a hole in the buttom of a bucket about 1 inch hole and put the cheapest dog food in that I can and to lure it I just buy cheap trapping coon lure. Seems to work for me. Kool-aid in it supercharges the location or the coon posion works really well also.
