RE: building feeders
I've ran into the same problem. I thought of opening a bucket & barrell store around here !! I have found metal barrels at fuel depos for 25 $ I cleaned them with rocks and soap. Put in soap, water and rocks then roll and roll! the way i got them up was to build a holder out of 4x4s and 2x4s. 6ft high It is a bit hard to climb but it works. I attached a feeder thing to the bottom.
The life time barrels are the way to go when these rust out on me. I spent 100$ and alot of time so 150 and its there isnt too much.
