Default RE: Pictures from May / 2005

The camera setup is a home made unit . Pixcontroller LE board and a Sony DSC P41 camera . You can go HERE to learn how to make one .

The pictures above are not really that good at all from this setup . I had it on 1MP and not 4 MP so when I zoomed in they got a little blurry . You can get great pictures from the P41 units .

I would not count on a good season lol . I always get great buck pictures up to August then they vanish [:@] . Get a ton of day pictures also , I swear they have a calander and know when the season opens up .

The feeder is a bucket style feeder . Take any bucket you have a lid for and has a handle . Then take a wooden dowl maybe 1/2 inch to inch ( any size will work ) . Cut the dowl down to about 8 to 10 inches . Come down about 2 inches on one side and drill a small hole through it . Small enough you really have to push the nail in and it will not move . You can even screw two screws evenly on both sides . Just something that will stop the dowl from falling out .

Now what ever size dowl you use drill a hole a 1/2 inch bigger in the bottom of the bucket . So if you used a 1 inch dowl drill a 1 1/2 hole . From the top of the bucket drop the longer end of the dowl in to the hole so only about 2" of the dowl is inside the bucket .

Fill the bucket at the feed location , put the lid on and hang it hight enough that the deer's mouth can get to the hole . When the deer goes for the corn it will hit the stick letting a little bit of corn fall out each time .

This will keep your corn dry and keep the coons out . You will be surprised how long a 50lb bag will last you this way .
