Default RE: Wooden deer feeder plans......ideas?


ORIGINAL: DougMD

I made a few 6" PVC gravity feeders. Just pop a 90 degree elbow on it and strap it to a tree, covering the top with a plastic bucket from the dollar store. A 5 or so foot piece holds about 50 pounds or more.
Substitute a "Y" union for that elbow and hang it where the "Y" is at least 3' off the ground and the turkeys won't empty it. You have to glue a short straight piece to the bottom of the "Y" with an end cap that has drain holes drilled in it to let rain leak through. It won't exclude coons and squirrels though unless you hang the feeder from a standoff that they can't grip ,or hang a sheet metal baffle above and below the feeder.
