What's everyone like ? Personally I don't like this for various reasons but dad wants more feeders now we got rid of the cows . Doesn't want anything with a motor or battery so.... What y'all like ? Store bought homemade ect.
Thanks

simplest and cheapest, a hanging 5 gallon spackle bucket , 1 1/2" about hole in the bottom, and a broomstick with a cross stick inside, extending out of the bucket...deer works the stick and feed drops out....

What is the goal Wolfdog.......?

Gravity feeders are good for free choice feed. They can come and eat anytime they want. Most gravity feeders are fenced in to keep the hogs out and are filled with protein and used from January to August to help with antler development and also lactation with does. Coons are taken care of accordingly as there can be a lot of waste and expense with free choice feeders.

For baiting deer to kill them, then it is best to use a timed feeder; and stop use on the gravity feeders. Especially if you are in a high hunting pressure area.

Also to kill them, a broadcast road/ROW feeder attached to the truck or UTV is deadly. Feed the roads, pipelines, and treelines with openings. Do it starting in August and try to do it at the same time and you will train them. We have too many deer here. I have no problem baiting deer to kill them.

He just wants to have feeders out and about for the deer . Guess he wants to try and get them coming to one or two places ? ... I really don't know I set him up a nice tripod feeder on a great spot but hes dead set on having feeders by the barn because.... reasons. He wants low maintenance but I tell him as soon as the coon find them they'll clean a those types out ASAP

Huh forgot all about them ole diy bump feeders , remember making some a long time ago , cows figured them out really quick

PVC feeder with Y fitting at the bottom. You put it high enough to where a coon has to work to get corn. About 18"-24" high. A 4-5ft stalk of 4" pipe holds about 25lb of corn.
