Hi, not so related to tractors unless I can figure out how to use the tractor to load the feeder. Anybody out there got plans for making a deer feeder from PVC pipe? My wife is sick with an infected liver and is now homebound so she likes to see the deer amble through the yard and I thought it might be nice to give them a reason to visit more often. I put some in a pan but it got wet when it rained. Thanks

Thanks for all the tips. I found the plans for one at one of the places and printed it out and stopped on the way home and bought the PVC pipe and stuff to make two of them. I'll set them up tomorrow and let you how they do. The more I read, I realized that the best way is with the timers as you can then make them come in the daytime. But we shall see.

Another great antic feeder for squirells is a full cob of corn hung from an elastic string. Place it high enough thay have to jump for it and watch'em bounce around. You may want to check your local game laws on feeding. Here in WI you are limited to 2 gallons, except in the CWD zone where no baiting or feeding is allowed. In fact bird feeders must be hung high enough to keep deer out.

One year at the deer lease, we took the over abundance of pears from my Dad's trees to the lease. First we just tossed them out on the ground. But then someone got the bright idea of sticking them on the long thorns of a Joshua tree. looked natural and the deer loved them.

For our corn feeders, we used a 5 gallon bucket with a hole drilled in the bottom and a resalable top. there was a threaded bolt that ran down through a funnel shaped piece that was just larger than the hole we drilled in the bottom. Now, below the stopper the all thread continued on down and on that we hung a simple bent piece of metal . How it all worked was, the wind would blow the metal hanging below around and corn would fall out the bottom. Well, it didn't take long for the deer to figer out they could nudge the flap with their nose and corn would fall out. Was fun to watch and the closed lid kept the corn nice and dry.

Might look around the farmers market of the local grocery store and see if you can get the just starting to go bad apple and pears from them. Deer love them!!

One of the things we do around here to "entertain" the deer with corn is to scatter whole unhusked ears of dried corn about. They'll work on 'em for hours. And if you don't want them to lay on the ground you can always tie 'em to a stake driven into the ground. Another "fun activity" for deer seems to be trying to extract dry corn from either soda water cans or 20 oz. plastic soda water bottles. But be prepared to pick up bits and pieces of aluminum cans or plastic bottles.....they will literally destroy the things trying to get at the corn. Finally the old five gallon bucket with a hole drilled in the bottom and a wire or tree branch through to for the wind or deer to jostle for corn works really well for dribbling out just enough corn to keep the deer occupied. Just remember.....when they come back in the spring lookin for more and find only your ivy's and roses instead.....it was you who invited them into the yard for dinner!!! hehehee....hope you wife's condition improves...our prayers will be with you.
