I think it's for grinding Squirrels to submission and to get the smell out so domesticated animals don't run off and die.
Just a wild guess.

So....... is it a sheller or what??? Did I guess right?? Did I win the contest??? What did I win??? Hog, what ya think? If it's a sheller and he's gonna use it in hunting season he must have some hi-brow deer that won't eat ear corn!! LOL Where ya at Buddybo?? Prolly got lots of orders for them bow holders. Hey Dnk: wouldn't you like one of them to hull your nuts? Goes thru a green black walnut in a heart beat.

RE: Yet another Saturday project for my ATV completed
LMAO Yes awshucks, you win the contest! It's a corn sheller mounted on a bottomless box and mounted to the front of my ATVso as to shell right to the ground in a chosen spot. I have planted a huge corn field in front of my box stand this spring and hope to save on some shell corn I've been used to buying each year to bait with. It's legal here in NC. I'll pick a few ears and throw into the basket and drive to my baiting spot and shell like crazy. I have spoiled my deer on shelled corn. Maybe next I'll feed them peanut butter sandwiches too. LOL.
Sorry for the last contest announcement. I was deer hunting last night with Deer Hunting 2005 Seasongame. LOL.

Dnk: My old man had me hulling nuts w/ one of those when I was 9 years old, 50 yrs ago. I thought that was bad until I had to sit at an anvil w/ hammer and crack them things so my ma could dig the meat outta the shells. My right thumb still aches. [left hand held hammer] At the time I had a 25# long bow that ate up every nickel I could make buying arrows at the Piggly Wiggly store at .35 cents each. My left forearm was permanently raw til I saw an arm guard. LOL

RE: Yet another Saturday project for my ATV completed
Da Man remembers being Da Boy!!LOL Man, the worst job was grinding corn for the cattle, dang I hated that!! But fast forward about 30 years, I was back to the place I grew up [hah look out now] w/ a metal detector, and among other things that I forgot ever losing, I found 4-5 metal points for those arrows I lost in the grass, that I used to crawl on my hands and knees looking for. You could feel them easier than you could see them. Bring back any memories for any of you other old farts? I even found the plastic nocks about 28" away from the points, but the wood was long gone. I wasn't whining BBO, those were the good old days.
