RE: feeders
Rather than a gravity fed feeder, I would recommend a timer for3 reasons.
[ol][*]The corn is spread out and allows the deer to brouse around[*]You can set ot for 2-3 times a day during daylight hours.[*]The corn you buy will last longer this way than with a gravity feeder.[/ol]
You can get a feered for around 45-50 bucks and a 55 gal drum for free in most places.....$10 at the most.
MAke a lid out of any plywood and you are all set.
