[@69Bowhunter]

Great idea. But my raccoons with empty this thing and days

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

Oh they definitely do . They empty my electric feeders as well .

You evidently don’t have wild hogs.

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

No we sure don’t

What keeps your deer from eating it all in a night. Cause I have on average 8 deer doe/buck mix. Right now I am Hand feeding and they eat a lot along with their daily shrub of choice. Thanks for feed back

[@wayneearls6216]

And also have u tried a double down tubes one on each side you could use a double 45 T?

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

Yes the will eat all night. I only ran it for a few months then took it down it was spooking the bucks.

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

Yes a 45 t would work.

[@texas15013]

You obviously don’t have hogs where you are lol.. not hating on it, it works, but around here the hogs would empty that drum in no time

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

Not yet lol but bears are becoming more common. Unfortunately

[@texas15013]

@@stubbysoutdoors4984 enjoy and be glad y’all don’t have a hog problem! Once they move in your area they are nearly impossible to eradicate with the rate they reproduce.. haha but not too many bears around here lol occasionally here in east Texas I’ll hear of a black bear being caught and relocated

[@Mobile_Werks_Outdoors]

Do you ever run into gravity issues? Like corn coming out the bottom ?

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

Just when it’s low

[@user-wz2qe6yx1w]

Hey brother just wondering can I make one out of a metal drum ???

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

Yes you sure can

[@adamspangler237]

How well are the legs holding up?

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

Still doing great

[@adamspangler237]

@@stubbysoutdoors4984 I been thinking about it I have a few 55 gallon steel barrels and was wondering if conduit would hold up to the weight

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

I’d use 3/4 in and it would hold up

[@backwoodshomestead]

Bears in my area would destroy it. But good for dear🤟🏻

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

Yes definitely wouldn’t stand up to bear

[@jaxpatriot904]

If it rains the corn on the ground is going to go sour isnt it?

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

I ended up building a box for the feed to goo into.

[@theohiaoancowboy9866]

How long does that last

[@stubbysoutdoors4984]

About a month all the way full witch is about 250lbs
