    lol not sure about that one, I got cattle, and there really nosey
    so what every you put out there then there gonna wanna see what it is.
    maybe put a feeder somewhere that you know your cattle won't
    go to but is still a good spot for the feeder.

    I've got a friend who uses a winch and gets them 10 to 15 feet in a tree and the cows don't seem to mess with it because they don't know its there

    I was mainly wondering about building a feeder that requires the deer to push a dowel thats sticking out of the bottom of a 5gal bucket to get the feed out!

    I tried a feeder like that once. I think Moultrie made it. I didn't have any cows on my place, but the deer didn't seem to like it. The coons on the other hand tore it up.

    Well if you hunted a property with cows how would you go about attracting deer so they would go by your stand?

    is there such a thing as a cow proof fence? please show my cows they dont get it.:D

    we had beans this year on the other side of a five row barbed wire fence the cows simply would make a new hole every day. or should i say the same two cows out of fifty,
