Took mine almost a year and two years later the bucks still won’t touch it.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

I prefer spin feeders. Having the ability to set timer seems to increase daytime movement. Gravity feeders not only encourage night time movement, the deer eat a lot more corn. You also feed more corn to coons and squirrels.
If you always do what you've always done you always get what you've always got

I used a 31gal silver metal trash can from home depot. Did not paint it, cut a hole in the bottom side so a golf ball can easily go in and out. Used a can of great stuff to create a form a ramp on the back side. Tied it to a tree, and filled it with corn (holds ~160lbs - if I remember correctly), slung a bunch of corn around it. Took ~2 days for them to find it and start using it. Does & young bucks did seem to hit it first, then the older bucks didn't care.
My next one will be a 55 gal drum with an open top & lid. I am going to glue/caulk a big salad bowl upside down in the middle & cut 2-4 hole in the bottom sides.
I don't seem to have a coon, hog, or bear problems over 3 years (yet). So it works good for me. May not be a good option in other areas.
Out in KS years ago when I dabbled working for an outfitter the feeders were all 55 gallon drums with 2 six inch tall "U"s cut on opposite sides about an inch up from the bottom. Bend the U cutout to control how much they could stick their mouths in. Seemed to work just fine.

I haven’t seen anything work as well as casting a couple hundred pounds over a food plot though. Before i start hunting, after Christmas, ill spread a cyclone spreader full(250-300lb) about every four days across an acre or so about 150yds in front of my shooting house. You would be amazed how it has increased my deer sightings

I prefer to load up my 350 pound hopper on the pull spreader and go to it. Down bushhogged roads and some in green fields
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

What spin feeders do you like, and how do you keep coons and squirrels from messing with them? I see Moultrie has one that has a charged electric shock grate built in, but don't see much online about how effective it is. All Seasons Stand & Fill with an Eliminator spin plate, or a Lamco Stand & Fill. Both will deter coons and skwerls, but get the All Seasons if you have hogs near.

No hogs, but I really want to stick the feeder down in a bottom where no one knows it is, and have a ground blind to hunt it with the kids. Gonna set it to broadcast 2 times, about 7:30 and 4ish. For only a few seconds. I want to train the deer to come running when they hear it. Or they miss out.
No hogs where we are. Yet. These aren't terribly light, but with the All Seasons at 300 lb capacity and the Lamco at 600 lbs, they will run for a while. Both of mine got moved into position with a UTV

Throwing it on the ground means I am basically feeding the coons, which I am trying to avoid. If I trap them around the corn, then that tends to create more human intrusion, which I don't want. I had two of those bag feeders out last year, and the coons would camp out on them every night. Same in places where I threw it out on the ground.
So its not a question of if I need to bait, I don't. But in a hunting club, people do so its one of those things. And if we don't, and the club next to us does, guess where the deer will go?

Man just throw it on the ground if you have to bait. I think all it does is attract hogs though. Man we never had hogs until one member started throwing corn out then we had them and now can't get rid of them. Tearing up the place and spooking the deer. Amen.. We honestly killed more mature bucks before we started baiting regularly.. Don't get me wrong, I still like to throw it on the ground in different areas when the rut comes in but the only thing we accomplished by running feeders 24/7 is bringing the hogs in.. The hunting drastically changed after the hogs set in..

I What spin feeders do you like, and how do you keep coons and squirrels from messing with them? I see Moultrie has one that has a charged electric shock grate built in, but don't see much online about how effective it is. I have a Moultrie and a couple wild games. Both brands work great. The wild games are cheaper like $80 only concerns we had was that they aren’t complete water proof like the Moultrie lids. they tend to leak around the hinges but we fixed that with silicone. Also the best thing to do is lather them ole feeder legs up with some Vaseline/petroleum jelly. Let’s just say the coons will be peed off when they stick those crummy hands on them slimy legs😂

Actually, they do. I can get more if you want additional proof. And before anyone says anything, this is low fence/no fence free range.
