Any recommendations on an automatic feeder to feed corn? Both brand and model.

We like to watch the deer across the pond. We also want to shoot any hogs we see...but we are not seeing them.

I had a Moultree that worked pretty well but something (assuming the hogs) knocked it over and destroyed it.

I plan to feed whole corn.

What have you used and liked?

Yes, I do have a permit to shoot hogs over bait.

Thanks.

I always make my own out of a barrel, I can make one for around 100.00 dollars. You will have to stake the legs down well to keep the hogs from destroying it. A feeder hung from a tree limb, pulled up by a wench would be good too.

These are expensive. You want break your neck climbing a ladder to fill it. Pretty well hog and varmit proof. Hasbeen

I'll second any of the "Stand and Fill" feeders that doesn't require a ladder, tri-pod with winch or standing on the bedrails to reach it.

Gamewinner at Academy has these..

Great price, but you have to put it together yourself.

It's handy because you can stand flatfooted and fill it up. No ladders or winches involved.

You'll go straight to hell if you shoot anything even close to it though... wink
