I'm looking to make a deer feeder. I'm also not looking for people to debate baiting and not, thanks.
I wanted a few ideas. I have access to steel drums, or rain barrels. couple issues I've thought about:
1. There are a lot of bears in the area and although I don't mind them eating what i'll have out there I'm more concerned about them knocking it over. (My plan was to set it up on a tripod)
2. squirrels! How should I set up the feeding. Holes in the bottom and let gravity do the work? or should I buy the electric feeder that throws it out and buy a rodent guard? Or I found this,

And yes I know, I won't be shooting a bear that comes in to eat.
Thanks
