I have a few made of 4"pvc pipe with a 45% on the bottom. I put a screen on the bottom of the 45 to let out all the moisture. Works well. It's a good idea to install it so you can take it down easily to fill it. I also have a cap screwed on the top to keep critters and rain water out. Spread some feed on the ground to attract them. Best of luck.

Have a picture?the elf wrote:Mine is like the one in Wheelies article except I added an extra y pipe and upright feed tube--so I don't have to fill it as often .
I really like the idea of the upside down part of a soft drink bottle and I am going to try it on my Feeder.

No I don't--but I will try and get one. I am only5 ft. 7 inches with my boots on; .so I have it hung so that I can fill from ground level .First I drill a hole
about 1 inch or so below filler cap which I use to hang on a nail pounded into the tree ; and use some clothesline wire (2or 3 pieces) to hold the feeder to the tree to help keep it on the tree and away from pests ( 4 legged).
It works well----The squirrels and raccoons and Blue jays just love it.

Awesome! I wish it was legal to bait here....and that I had time to get out there and hang some feeders. If I did I think I'd go with your first on, love it.Bullzeye wrote:Here is one I made that suspends on a cable to keep the coons from eating all the corn.

You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
My enemy's friend is also my enemy.

I live just over an hour away from my hunting spot, so my feeders are not really for baiting, but more to fill up a few times a year and put my camera on it just to see what deer are in the area to see if it's worth hunting in that spot.
