RE: what do you recommend to use to "fence in" my feeders?
On our lease we have tried cattle panels, hog panels, hog wire and barbed wire. T post and barb wire have worked best. 3 wire is ok but 4 wire keeps the cows out. You dont have to stretch the wire real tight. A little slack allows the deer to step through and still keeps the cows out. Cattle panels keep the fawns out and makes shooting anything inside the pen almost impossible. You can set two post about three feet apart on the side and hang a chain link gate for easy feeder filling, or just make one side a barb wire gap big enough to back your truck into to refill feeders. If you have hogs, drive t post in by your feeder legs at the same angle and tie wire the legs to the t post. Hogs love to knock over feeders and cause all around mayhem.
