Poor man's deer feeder

There's a couple bucks that hang out on my buddies property every summer, he told me that I'm welcome to bow hunt there this year. Went out this morning and set up a trail cam and a bait station. The feeder is a 4' piece of 3" pvc pipe, the bottom is cut at about a 33 degree angle bungee corded to a t-post. Filled it up with deer snacks and dropped an apple lick block on the ground beside it.

I'm still a newb with chasing deer and have never used a trail cam, how often do you guys check your cam?

Up in MI I would let mine sit for a few weeks at a time.

I've built several like that but put a elbow on the bottom and drilled holes in it so that it can drain. That way you can get it off the ground.

I'm not much of a deer hunter, but I hunt a plum and peach orchard so I don't think it will help.

Can't plant trees in the duck pond, that'd be silly. I do plan on dumping a couple boxes of apples on the ground. Does that count? Don't be jealous.

Everybody around here uses corn for the most part. I wish they didn't allow baiting here but they do. If they banned baiting, it would cut the deer hunters by 50%. A lot of them bait 8 months up year round with electronic feeders.

Tripod, if there is a tree in the area strap the pvc to the tree about 2' of the ground or a little higher. It'll help keep the varmits out of it.

Couldn't do it unless he rebuilt his feeder. All his high dollar "deer treats" would fall out. :lol:

All he has to do is buy a cap for the end of it(I would cap both ends to keep rain out) and cut the bottom cap to fit the angle so that there is a hole for the deer to eat out of.

That would work too. I already said this.

That's how I build mine. But for what he has, he wouldn't have to get an elbow and 1-2' piece to stick out. He could simply put a cap on the bottom, cut a notch out of the cap to make a hole big enough for a deers mouth and call it a day. Actually, I think the cap may work better at keeping the other critters out.

You guys are high tech. I just have my buddy run off about 400 pounds of corn from the combine in each corner of the fields I hunt. Works like a charm.

banning baiting doesn't do shit. It's been illegal where I hunt for as long as Ive been hunting, and literally tons of beats and corn are sold at every corner store in the area from sept-dec. just because it's illegal doesn't mean people will stop.
