    Today was a decent day and when I got home from school I just decided to make this deer feeder I can put at one of my hunting spots, So I bought A 4ft by 8ft piece of plywood 1/2'' of course. And I just threw this together with some 2x4's that I had lying around. Even in the off season I find myself trying to do something hunting related. Haha thanks for looking.:deer:

    Nice job. Wish I possessed building skills. I can't make a darn thing even with directions.

    looks nice.....but I have questions...how much does it hold....how long does that last....looks like it would empty quickly?

    I think it will hold up to a 40lbs of corn, the corn in it would come out fast at first until it piles up, then it would stop coming out. not much corn would be exposed and only newer fresher corn would come out when they eat at it.

    I put legs on it to get it off the ground and then i put a trough on it to keep the corn or whatever i put in it from rotting quicker, also it may knock loose any antlers off during the winter when the bucks are shedding.:woot:
