I can't afford a free gravity feeder.

I ran 3 of each plus some trough feeders this season. I will be switching the spin feeders out with gravity feeders. What I noticed is that the spin feeders went thru just as much - if not more corn - than the gravity feeders b/c it was getting spun out on the ground regardless of the deer feeding on it that day. The gravity feeders, if the deer weren't very active that day, then there was no corn wasted. what was the ballpark amount you spent on corn during the season?

Anywhere from $6-7 a bag depending on where I got it from

Buy one and try it out during the off season...
Home brew a gravity feeder and see if it works for you. Trial and error is part of the fun to me.

Hell before the defined area or baiting rules the neighbors were pouring the corn when we did not and we still filled our freezers and took good bucks.
No way that's true. Your neighbors were pulling all your bucks with magic corn and killing 'em all.

I have 3 moultrie 30 gallon spinners in my amazon cart right now with the solar panel attachments for all three and can't decide if this is the right route to go lol. I wouldn't do a 30 gallon feeder. If you're feeding any amount at a time you'll be filling that thing every week. That's a lot of trips in and out disturbing them.
What you do today, you have to sleep with tonight.
