RE: feeders
Go to your local hardware store and buy a 16 gallon metal garbage can with a lid and bail. Drill two holes through the lid and can to hold the lid on with loose fitting screws.
Get the $39.95slinger from Cabela's. This is the best slinger out there-used them for years.It is totally adjustable if you want to feed more thantwice per day.It isset from the factory to feed 30 minutes after sunup and at sundown. Itholds about 70 pounds of corn. Each feeding is about1.5 pounds of corn.
Cut a hole in the bottom of the can and attach the feeder. Total cost about 60 bucks. Hang it from a tree limb.
