A spin-cast feeder throwing 2.5 lbs/feeding/twice daily=5 lbs/day.

A 30 gal feeder will easily hold 150 lbs of feed. At 5 lbs/day this will last 30 days (1 month).

75 lbs corn @ 8% protein + 75 lbs pelleted deer ration @ 21% protein = 150 lbs mix @ 15% protein.

Corn = $10.50 per 50 lbs
21% Deer Pellets = $22.00 per 50 lbs
Total cost of mix = $48.50/month

If you elect to only feed for 4 months of Hunting, you are less than $200 per feeder for feed.

Now, granted there is the initial cost of the feeder. The prices vary widely!!! And, the $25 'fee'.....

But, either way.....it is NOT the thousands of dollars being proposed by some!
