Gravity feeder

I made a gravity feeder today. Made it out of a salt tank and pvc pipe. I put a funnel in the top of the pipe to slow the feed flow down. Had to do a couple of test runs to get the pipe length right and it works perfect. Just hope the deer use it not the coons. Going to mix my own high protein feed out of hole corn and soybean pellets. Should be around 26% protein.

Looks good, rossbows! How much does that soybean meal cost per bag?

Here's an idea to help keep the coons from climbing on it. Find some tack strips used for carpeting, and attach them to the legs of the feeder. Those coons won't have much fun climbing if their little feet are getting stabbed and cut.

Got it set up this morning by my mineral site. Going to check the cam next weekend to see how they like it.
