Yahoo!! I just got done with my PVC deer feeder! It has a 5-gallon pail ($2.98 + .99 for lid) which is on top of a 5' piece of 4" PVC ($8.99) that has a 4" PVC wye on the bottom ($3.29) that splits it into two forks and each fork has a 4" atrium grate ($4.96/ea) on the end rodents from entering. I glued the PVC stuff together using Plumbing Goop ($2.97) and after the Goop glue stuff dried I put duct tape around it tightly.

All-in-all it cost me about $29.14 (not including tax) to make. I will have pictures up soon. I do not know yet how much feed it can hold but I bought a 50 pound bag of corn and I'll see how far that gets me.

So stay tuned for my next post, it'll have pictures and instructions with it.

your wasting your money you can make a feeder much cheaper than $30 bucks.

go to lowes...or home depot...buy 1 6foot piece of black 6inch round flex pipe NOT PVC...PVC don't flex and bend...to the shape of a tree...like the black flex pipe will.

then get some type of cable or rope or zipties....what ever you want to tie the pipe to the tree with...its up to you.

I use about 3 or 4 straps to tie the pipe to the tree with...on about 8 inches from the bottom then work your way up to the top.

once your done attaching the pipe to the tree then pour corn or whatever your using inside the pipe...a full 6foot piece of pipe will hold about 30 to 40 pounds of feed.

Don't forget to put an empty coffee can on top of the feeder so that water can't get down into the feed.

as the deer eat the feed more will fall down.

the whole set up will cost less than $10 bucks.


I'll try and take a picture so that I can post it for you
