How deep of water have you drove in the mud in Minner??? Also, do I need to drill hole in each joint to take away some of the floatation of the boo??

I have planted em in 10-12 fow. No holes needed. It keeps the bucket upright. Take a hole saw and cut you one in the bottom of the bucket. I use that free rip rap the corp piles up around the landing to put in my bucket to weight it down. Purty sure that what it's there for.

Here's some pics of my driver. This one is a double stake driver. My single driver works better fer cane, but it's layin on the bottom of the river. It didn't float. I got screw in couplings on the handle and extension pieces about 5' long. I can go as deep as needed. Now get to werk.

John, Boo is about 25 foot tall. Cut the first 2 stakes from the bottom 5 foot long or more. You may get a third cut. And a good brush top left.
When are you going to call a work day?
What I am working on rite now wont envolve no work day, this stuff is going deep. Will most likely try to do one just after deer season is over, just aint no need in putting it out there for em to burn and move around and that is what will happen. Lakes at 208, winter pool is 193, this syuff will be going in 22 to 26 feet of water never to be seen again.
When I get out of this boo what I want there will be a buch of tops left for when we did it, will stage them up at Airmount and they will be ready when we are.
Here is a stake driver diagram that i found that works if anyone is interested...

Deer season over, that's February.
Leave the limbs on the stakes, they may break off when driving in. Tie the tops together and sink as piles. Tie the stakes together with cord, a few inches apart, maybe a foot and sink them with an anchor. I have a truck load of brick here. Have to test to see how many stakes will sink per brick.
Yep February, whats gonna need cover for next year is under water as we speak. Another thing is deer hunters in the lake bottom makes for skipping bullets during the winter.
Good ideas Cane, I got weights for sinking.
Rbucks, thanks thats pretty cool there.
drill holes ( many) in a 5 gal. bucket and pull bamboo through them . you can drill through bottom if you want it taller . when finished fill with sack-crete .
Need a good supply of buckets
