so the triangle is where the deer will eat out of, the trash can is full with corn and goes into the pvc which fills up so everytime the deer eat from it, a little more comes out. so could i bolt it to a tree and put the pvc into that?

buy a broadcast spreader w/timer w/rechargeable batteries.
timer is so easy to program, I have a moultrie.
if you're going to feed, I'm of the opinion to avoid concentrating deer to a single feeding tube etc.... CWD...

I use timed feeders prior to the season in an attempt to get the deer on a pattern and coming in for corn/ manipulating their hunger schedule to come in during shooting hours. After the season is over for me by tagging out or running out of time I use a 55 gallon gravity feeder. I like using metal feeders because the squirrels tear up the plastic barrel types. PVC pipe works good too, it is easier to blend into an area and camouflage it's silhouette from other people who may mess with it but it is extra work in making one and they don't hold as much corn as the 55 gal drum and the less you have to go into the area the better.

no...the tiny trashcan serves as a lid to cover the corn from rain and animals...actually i just put mine up today..i will get some pics tomorrow...i made a mistake in the size of the pvc pipe...mine has a diamiter of 6 inches accross about...but i just got some pipe that we had laying around and used it...i reccomend you to do the same...ours however will hold just under one bag so you have some left to spred around it....when you see the pic you will understand a whole lot better and should build from the pic...i actually had the holes at the bottm a little lower more like 3 inches from the bottom...and used hole diggers to get it started and finished off with a rubber mallet...you need the post or something to tie the pipe to...its a must...the only downside to this is the coons make a mess with it...
