Hog proof Deer feeder
 

Been building these for a while, affordable, and they absolutely work. Coon, squirrel and hog proof. It's the only way to go for us from now on. Just thought I'd share our little design with SC.

Is it just a regular feeder built on a frame with a winch so the critters can't reach it?

How tall is your frame? How far in the ground?

We use 16ft 4x4's for the legs and a 6ft 4x4 for the cross piece. Put a pulley on the leg up near the top of the leg so the cable doesn't interfere with the barrel and a pulley in the middle of the cross piece. We've done a bunch of different things to hang the barrels, but the best is burning 2 holes about 3 inches under the lid and running a 1 inch pipe all the way through the barrel, then weld up the gaps and weld chain to the ends of the pipe. We sunk the legs about 4ft in the ground

Make sure you get pulleys rated for 500lbs. Not the cheap ones

Lol did you truly just say coon proof? That was a mistake. They will read this and go rape that feeder!

nice

They can't get to it bruh. Seriously...the gallows style frames work like a champ

how is this hog proof?

It's hoisted into the air

doesnt it spread corn to the ground, or am i missing something

He was stating hog proof in the manner that they can't tamper with the feeder itself.

Hog proof in the idea that the hogs can't damage the
feeder. We have had so many broken feeders from hogs, that we are happy to finally find something they can't break

Got ya

Put your game camera close by id like to see their attempts to jump from the legs over to the motor
