[QUOTE="Vollmer, post: 180809, member: 8014"] I am curious what everyone does for deer feeders. I built a couple setups a few years ago. I bought electronic spreaders similar to the pic below: [ATTACH=CONFIG]15667._xfImport[/ATTACH] I was able to get a few 50 gallon plastic barrels. I would attach one of the spreaders to the bottom of the barrel. I upgraded to the rechargeable batteries, and added solar panel chargers. I slapped on some 2x4 legs, speared on the ends, and called it good. They work really well. The barrels hold enough feed to cover a month+. I have them spread twice a day, timed once at daybreak and once about a 1/2 hour before sunset. I think the spreading of the feed allows a guy to use less feed, and keeps the deer in the spot longer. In addition, I believe that after awhile, once the deer get used to the sound of the feeders, that sound will almost call them in. My brother uses any old tubs he can find, and cuts a little notch out of one of the bottom edges, allowing the deer to nibble the feed out. Curious what everyone uses, and any other ideas for maximizing. [/QUOTE]
