I take (2) 4' pieces of 4" Pvc and put on a tree trunk, and that hold 50lbs almost exactly just make sure you dig a small hole at the bottom where the 90 degree elbows will be to back the corn up and only let it come out as they eat. Thats my cheap and easy way to do it.

If you hang them away from the trunk of the tree. Coons and squrrels will not get in it as bad, as puting it on the ground.

Very cool! Can feeders bring deer into a place that they don't usually travel..or travel close by? It would be neat to put some in the back yard for pictures and such, but not sure if deer travel that far up. behind my 2 acres opens up to 1000+ acres. Just wondering if they would come up to places where they usually may not for the corn?

I'm not so sure that the deer would travle too far for the corn unless they had little or no food closer by.....
it would help get pics of some of the deer that were there, though.
