    now here is some from my food plot this year, I have put a lot of time into this spot getting it ready and the deer seem to take a liking to it already. I planted biologic hot spot on the bigger side and biologic sugar beet and winter bulb mix on the other smaller part. here is the result after only 3 weeks

    here is two different views of the plot from a tree I climbed with the climber, the yellow is the hot spot and the red is the turnips

    It looks to me like you have put in a great deal of hard work...and have the pics to show it is paying off!

    Some nice bucks in there! Where in Ohio are you? County?

    That's 4inch and a 5 gallon bucket from Home depo and a 4 inch toilet flange to connect it, it holds exactly 50 pounds, have use something to space it away from the tree so help secure it better, it works perfect though just drill a 1/8th hole on each side to drain water out the bottom and boom, perfect feeder for under 30 bucks

    Thanks! My girlfriends dad gave me the floor plan and I just put 2 feeder spots on it instead of one but it's nice only having to fill it once a week since it holds a good amount

    After a week and a half soak i figured i would go out in the rain and change batteries and cards in the cams and thank goodness I did, the plot camera took 2150 pictures and the feeder cam took a combined 30 sec video and pic of 1200 and both were running on below 45% battery. But here are some of the best pics/ videos I got out of the pull. Also the Batachler group of 6 bucks came through, they disappeared on the 7th and are now back again.
