We have been useing 55 gallon plastic food grade barrels with 3” hole cut in bottom front! We don’t paint ours they are White or black! In Michigans upper peninsula Bear will tip over! We lag bolt to tree with 1/2” x3” lagbolt. Plastic a lot easier to work with an don’t rust when cut hole with hole saw.

How long is a full drum (of corn) lasting you?

It just depends on the location but I’d say 2 weeks on average. I ended up making the hole smaller on some of them to make them last longer

55 gallon drum full of corn holds just over 3 - 100 lb bags!

No need to paint them camo. I tried it last year and it didnt matter if they were camo or not as far as the deer coming to them

Great video but around here in wv the bear destroys every feeder like that you put out. Or atleast they do on our land

Cool idea. Was surprised you didn’t file the burrs off the opening as I’m guessing the deer have to put their noses in the hole to get more out.

I just use thirty-Five Gal garbage cans. Painted them camo... Drilled about and inch and a half square at the bottom. Use two Iron rods to station the cans which are on a piece of Plywood for corn to flow on..... holds 100 lbs of corn. Easy Pleaceyy And last for years....

Do you just set the barrel on the ground? Could you also use plastic drums?
@HaveBowWillTravel

Yes sir just on the ground You could use plastic but I think coons would chew the hole bigger if there was a little bit of corn left in there once it was empty
