Moultrie Bag Feeder With DIY Spout!

This Moultrie bag feeder caught my attention when I was looking for a simple and mobile deer feeder that was hog proof. Moultrie deer feeders makes some great feeders but will this one hold up? When doing some research on this Moultrie deer feeder I found that some people complained about squirrels eating through the bag. I thought for $25, I'll take the risk.

One of my goals was to get this Moultrie bag feeder off the ground to prevent hogs from destroying and eating all the feed. I used a simple 4" PVC elbow to build a basic gravity deer feeder that hogs can't reach. The elbow is attached to an L-bracket which is secured to the tree using a ratchet strap. The Moultrie bag feeder fits over the PVC elbow to prevent water from getting into the feed.
Even if this Moultrie bag feeder doesn't last too long it only cost $25 to replace the bag. A risk I'm willing to take for a mobile testing feeder.
Thanks for watching and God Bless!

What a great idea! I tested a very similar bag system (different brand), and you’re right about the Hogs. All they had to do was nudge that bag and more corn would fall out. Went through all 100 lbs or so of corn in about a week. Not very practical to go through that much corn…. However, I was honestly surprised how well the bag held up though, was expecting it to get shredded by the coons and hogs, but it survived unscathed, even with the hogs beating it around. Can’t wait to see some trail cam footage of yours in action!👍😁

Great feedback! I hope to get some vids out soon!

[@chilobarrera2996]

Man HH I always love your videos and how you put your own twist in the products, I was wondering if you can do an update video on your lithium battery conversion buggy. Keep up the awesome informative videos.

[@Isaacmantx]

well darn, I may have to give this a try...

[@jimk59]

Cool setup. We don't have hogs but we do have a huge coon population. Would be curious to see if they take advantage of that feeder. Maybe drill some small holes in that pvc elbow to drain water.

[@TheHandyHunter]

I’ll let you know how it goes. We have a ton of coons too. I forgot to mention that I drilled some small drain holes in the bottom in case water got in the spout.

[@bshadrick]

Dang....that's purdy cool. Glad your rich. Most of us can't afford 25 dollars. 😁

[@TheHandyHunter]

Good one!! LOL 😂🤣😂🤣

[@mattwheaton7191]

They're not bear, squirrel or coon proof. Feed isn't cheap! Great adaption for Georgia, but not for Northern Hunters. Enjoy your concepts, Steve!!!

[@TheHandyHunter]

We’ll see how long it last! May have to invent a metal one it gets destroyed…lol.

[@bshadrick]

Too cold up north anyways 😁

[@barrymulharan8637]

Cool!! I like that!!

[@TheHandyHunter]

Thank you! Hope you are well!

[@barrymulharan8637]

We dodged a bullet here in Trinity. Heading up to GA to plant food plots. Probably 2 weeks late, but had alot going on!! Have a great huntin season!🦌🦌🦌

[@TheHandyHunter]

I planted two weeks ago and not a drop of rain so you are not late. I hope we get some soon. Deer like all thise tender sprouts anyway. Good luck and keep in touch!

[@Ealum1013]

Can you do an update to see how it held up?

[@TheHandyHunter]

My bag is still holding up great. My problem is that it’s not big enough so the corn goes fast. Some people complained that squirrels would eat holes in it but they haven’t bothered mine. Hope that helps!

[@Ealum1013]

@@TheHandyHunter Thank you! I'm looking to build me a similar set up based off of yours for this off season to pump some protein to them.

[@TheHandyHunter]

@Ealum1013 awesome! I got plenty video of deer eating out of the spout. Only took them a day to start eating. Good luck!

[@mattstetter734]

What is the approx. length of your L bracket? I may give it a try after the season.

[@TheHandyHunter]

About 12inches. I checked it this weekend and all the feed was gone! My trail cam SD card was corrupted so I didn’t get any video. No holes in the bag from squirrels or coons. So far so good.

[@scottlafeir]

Did it work ?

[@TheHandyHunter]

Yes it did! It’s still in great shape to this day with no holes etc. The only down side is that it doesnt hold much and the deer eat it quickly.

[@mattshears3906]

How did you attach the plate on the pvc to stop the feed?

[@TheHandyHunter]

I drilled some small screw holes through the edge of the metal and put some small wood type screws into the edge of the PVC. It holds really well.

[@mattshears3906]

Also what angle did you cut your pvc on for the front end?

[@TheHandyHunter]

I cut about 1/4-1/2 inch off the bottom. You just need enough so the rain doesnt blow in. Also, drill small holes in the bottom of the pipe so water can drain if it does blow in. I havent had any problems. Good luck!
