10' long piece of 4" sdr35 solid pvc pipe
2- 4" Y fitting
4- 4" caps
1 small can of glue

cut the pipe in half, then cut a 4" piece from each half. Cpnsider the following picture of a Y fitting, in this orientation I want you to notice there are three conection points: the top,bottom, and angle: Glue each long piece of pipe into the top of the Y fitting, With the angledportion of the fittingpointing up Use this4"piece of pipe to glue into the bottom of the Y then glue a cap onto the bottom.This isjust to close the hole.Drill a few 1/8 holes into this to allow rain to seep out. Now just slip the other cap onto the top of the pipe. Tie these to trees with the long piece up and the Y at the bottom and you have just built two feeder for about $20. Each feeder will hold approx. 25 lbs of cracked corn. The deer and turkeys will reach inside the angled portion of the fitting to get the corn.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! How high off the ground do you mount the feeder? I take it that the deer are able to get their nose in far enough to get the corn out? Do you have any problems with the corn not feeding?

Thanks again

This is what we use at our place

Set the bottom on the ground and zip tie it to the tree. Corn gravity feeds with no problem. Deer find way to get the corn trust me. I've got Trail cam pics of a buck scraping it out with a hoof on to the ground to eat. Others with thier Noses buried in the Y.

Buddy at work built several from PVC pipe. It holds just at 50lbs of corn at a time..

Only problem is the deer can eat 50lbs a night. He buys the corn by thebushel on a trailer. Goes home and stores it in some sacks. Talking to him the other night he went by the feed place and got 4,400lbs of corn for his deer. Ended up filling 84 sacks of corn.

His wife names them, and watches them in the evening. He has some pictures of them, and they are some nice bucks in his yard. One had 13 points on one side. [:-]Couldn't see the other side to good. His wife just also added a water tub out there for them even though a creek is 100ft away..

I use an 8' piece of schedule 40 pvc pipe! I cap it at both ends cut a notch at the bottom and bury up to the top of the bottom cap. Stake it to the ground and fill it from the top! AS they eat it it just kkeeps falling out!
