Free: Contests & Raffles.
some of these feeders are no different than just dumping the feed on the ground so I dont really understand all the effort in building and packing it in for it basically be a free for all. To me a feeder is to put out a desired amount daily and keep the rest away from critters to help save on cost and abundant trips to the hills. If it were me i would buy a feed motor and mount it to a container..be done for less than $40
Just got done with 2 pvc feeders. Gonna put corn in them, do they like whole or cracked better? Or get the "deer feed" from the feed store?

Don't wanna rain on the parade but since it's raining out I thought feeding wild animals was/is prohibited in Wa. state or am I wrong? Just a thought.
got some sweet cob and some cracked corn. gonna mix it together. filling em up in da morning and set the trail cams up! Wooo whooooo !!
I'd like to figure out something a bear wouldn't just pull down though - hence the feeder motor above. Tie that bucket out of reach of bears, would make your feed go a whole lot further. Prolly pay for the motor in saved feed, and lengthen your refill times.

One picture I seen a guy used a toilet plunger with the plumger down - not sure that was needed but kind of cool, gives the deer a bigger target to wack I guess.
