Why 10ft?

Why 10ft?

Keeps bottom of barrel above head height. Seems to disperse corn wider

Top rail for chain link fence will work perfectly

This is what I used with a boss buck band kit . I mounted the legs to the top of the barrel. It seems to keep the coons and squirrels from hanging on the feed ports

We use two trees and a snatch block to get the feeder up over 10' and use a side by side to lower it down to fill it then raise it back up when full. Keeps squirrels out of it and coons from destroying it.

What size cable between the trees?

I think 1/2".

I'll see if I can get a photo next time I'm up there.

You're going to get very tired of climbing that ladder with sacks of corn to fill it if you don't fall and hurt yourself first.

I've had hanging feeders too and they can be a recipe for injury. If you go with hanging, be damn careful under it or around the winch if you don't pull it up with an atv. A hand winch will break bones or knock your teeth out if you let the handle slip and a few hundred pounds falling from a tree if a rope pops could be deadly. Metal cable is safer than rope. Squirrels will chew rope.

I've gone to ground level directional feeders. I don't have a pig problem but if I did, I'd still use them but run a fence around them. I can fill them while standing on the ground. They throw corn about 20 feet.

Which feeders do you use ?

Mostly aquapro pond feeders but I have one Sweeney. If I hit the lottery, it would be all Sweeneys.

We have hogs and bears so a ground feeder would not last long.

My buddy puts a boat winch on one tree and a cable with a pulley on the next tree, about 15 ft a part. Up in the air it's between the two trees but he lowers it to the ground to fill it.


It's a set up that you don't want to move very often.

Same. buy a cheap $20 boat winch from Harbor Freight

From my experience the taller the feeder the less skittish the deer seem and more deer use them.
