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. You have to put a cage around the spinner so they only get corn when you want them to get corn.
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

I personally think during season spinners are the way to go. Make them out of 55 gallon drums. Put a flange on the bottom attach a moultrie all in one spinner on it and put a cage around it. We had 5 of these and they been going off twice a day since October on the same 4 lithium batteries. About $100 and deer are there waiting for it to go off every morning and every evening.

All seasons and green go both sell timed gravity type feeders. Same as spin cast you set the time and amount to drop into the trough. I bought a all seasons this year. So far they are slower to get used to it than the banks gravity feeder.

Pretty sure you have made the exact same feeder I made...works great! That little spinner with a big cage around it means the Coons can't reach in far enough to touch it.

I had 2 gravity and one spinner. Lots of does and babies. Some barley horned bucks but zero mature or even mid aged bucks around the spinner. Had it set for 7 am and noon. No difference in time of deer movement that I saw with it. I’m going trough and maybe boss buck gravity next year.
Don't blame me for your bad decision-

A spinner is useless if you don’t keep the coons out.

You can put out a broadcast feeder and I can put out a gravity feeder within 300 yards and I can promise you ill have more deer show up at my buffet than you will picking thru leaves. coon are easy to take care of put a couple DP traps around baited with corn youll be rid of them in short time.

How tall would a trough feeder need to be to keep hogs out? If you can. Generally speaking. Or, how tall is too tall for deer?
