This year's woodpecker is a pro.
Taptaptaptaptaptap!!!
There are 2 angles I can get him from with a BB, but he can spot me and split long before I can get into position and draw a bead. I could get a clean shot from my neighbor's yard, next to the Obama sign still up from last time... or maybe not. Thought about just sitting out there dead-still in a lawn chair, but no dice. I have the attention span of a gnat and I live in waterworld.
And sadly, this year's spot is 30+ feet in the air, above a steep, soggy, muddy hill, so I'm not going up there on a ladder anytime soon to tack on some tin or spread the Tanglefoot paste.
Is there such a thing as an enticing woodpecker lure I can set up? Something that would bring him to a location where I can aim for 2 seconds?
Ideas welcome.
