RE: Feeders
Shawn here is an easy feeder and it is cheep. Good luck Oldsnow.
It is very simple to make your own deer feeder. First take a 5-gallon bucket, a good sturdy rope and an old broom handle. Drill a hole in the bottom of the bucket 1/4" to 1/2" larger than the broom handle. Take the broom handle and put 2 nails or screws in the sides, opposite each other, about 6" from one end. Do not put the nails or screws all the way through, let them stick out about one inch. With the long end down, slide the broom handle into the bucket and through the hole. The nails or screws will keep the broom handle from falling through the bottom. Tie the rope to the bucket handle and tie the other end to a tree branch, so the broom handle is hanging 4-5 feet above the ground. Then the last thing to do is to fill the bucket full of corn or your favorite deer feed and put the lid on the bucket to keep it dry. The deer feed will fall to the ground every time a deer bumps the broom handle.
