Anyone have any suggestions on good homemade deer feeders? Pictures would be nice as well.

Should it be 4" pipe? That way their snout wont get stuck.

Here is what I made. I have 35 bucks in each one.

ya know i don't remember how big it was. i would guess 6 or 8 inches, if you go buy one you will have to make the call, if not someone here might be able to answer that. also i would drill some small holes in the bottom cap, i assume rain may come in the 2 openings a little bit.

I have a plumber friend that made me 4 of them...They are 5 feet long (he cut a 10 foot in two)...He used a 2 way split at the bottom...They hold about 20 pounds of corn, deer will eat out of them in just a day or two...At the top, he used a screw on top and drilled 5-6 1/4 inch holes in the bottom cap so water will drain out...

I used to use mechanical feeders, 2 got stolen...I see more deer during the day with the pipes, it takes awhile for deer to get used to the mechanical going off..

4" PVC cap on top, elbow, cut about 1/3 of the bottom cap so it gravity feeds out. Cheap.

We have made the pipe feeders using a 5 ft. piece of 6" PVC with a cap on top and a 90 degree elbow that reduces to 4" PVC about 18" long with an end cap. Cut out the top half of the 4" pipe to create a trough and drill holes in bottom to let the rainwater drain. The 6" will hold more corn.
