Deer not eating from feeders
#12
jus get a piece of PVC about 6 inches in diameter and cut a V in the bottom end to let corn trickle out then put a cap on the top and strap it to a tree...make em about 4 or 5 feet tall and you got a corn feeder that costs about8-10 dollars vs. feeders made in a factory for 50-100 dollars!

iSnipe dont worry its just a matter of time before they find and get use to your feeder and start hitting it on a regular basis, I built and put my feeders out around July 4th and the deer are hitting them every day now. Pike

I would put a camera up to see what is visiting the feeders and you may get a good idea of what was eating the piles of corn. When I have put out piles of corn I have had more coons, hogs, and crows visit the piles than deer. I grew some very fat coons and hogs. I finally started utilizing feeders and it took the deer a little while to start visiting. Take a look at a website that has some good products for you and email Mike he might have some good suggestions (www.mikeswildlifefeedersandsupplies.com)

It seems I have better luck at spreading my own corn than relying on a feeder. I have a spot where I have tried both and the spreading brings them in better than the feeder. Could anyone answer this question for me-Why?
