I porbably have the cheapest deer feeders around, but they work very well. I buy a rubbermaid trash can for about $7-10 and cut 4 or 5 one inch triangles out of the bottom. I then fill it up with whatever feed I am feeding and set it on the ground. I usually tie the lid down so the racoons and deer won' t knock the lid off. I can usually put about 150-200#' s of corn in one and it will last about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks with heavy deer pressure.
