While trapping hogs here in East Texas I was looking for a way to put a feeder inside of a corral trap that wouldn’t get destroyed by the hogs. As you may know trapped hogs go absolutely crazy once they get caught and will run full speed into anything in their way while trying to escape. Obviously most standard deer feeders will not stand up to this abuse. I came up with this design after much deliberation because it is basically hog proof, easy to move and very reliable. This was my first build of this type of feeder and if I had it to do again I would not have used 4”x4” paneling on the feeder cage because raccoons were still able to access the feeder thus empty and damage it. My solution to this problem was a feeder spinner plate that is spring loaded and drops down with centrifugal force. This spinner plate was purchased on Amazon “The Eliminator Varmint Proof Scatter Plate” and although pricey it has and will be well worth the price in saved corn!
An additional benefit of this type of feeder is that it can he easily moved from one trap location to another by simply lifting off the f barrel and feeder mechanism, then unbolting the cage and lifting it off and moving it to another pole to attach it to at another location. The base is a metal pole cemented in the ground and does not move. These poles can be placed with ease at any location you desire perhaps without cement but my soil is soft and I do not want the hogs rooting up my feeder.
