yea i started makin them the year after i was introduced to turkey hunting and i would see the turkey feeders at the feed store and i thought i could make on my self the first one i made was out of a 5 gal. bucket and i used pvc pipe for the legs but it worked alright i did have several sightings of turkey feeding off of it but the feed would run out fast and the pigs would tear it up so now i plann on making a big welded one it might weigh mor ethan that vita rack one but thats good because of the pigs there....i started making the bucket ones about 3 yrs ago and then this years catalog i saw a feeder that looked just like mine but of course its around 200 bucks........the feeder i plan wont be that high though atleast not as high as the one on the bass pro catalog..[height wise]it goin to be stictly for trkeys and any other birds that wanna drop by
