D I Y hog feeder

[red]

I attached mine with a swivel and made a loop around the tree so the loop can spin around as well and the pigs still broke it. After it's been in the elements and beat up for a year or so the plastic seems easier to break. The swivel was 3/8 steel and the pigs were able to bend the eyelet open. I went up to a 1/2 steel eyelet and welded it closed

My plan is to use black mush corn soaked in beer and then let it ouze out the holes from a pipe straped to a tree. Cap on the bottom and top open to let rain in on occasion. The nasty black corn is very arromatic.

Well I installed the swivels to day and deployed the hog sticks . I drilled 3/8 inch holes also , the paint wasn't for the hogs it was so no one sees them

let us know how they work out for you..

3/8 Is what we started with. Corn would not really come out. We went up to half inch. and then ended with five eights. It seems to work the best. Put four holes on one side, four on the other. We also do not use the store made caps. We just cut out some circles in some scrap wood. Screw them together. Then slid in the pipe and then screw thru pipe into the wood. Keeps you from having to buy a few more items. If you have scrap laying around. I have stoped on the jobs sites. Ask them for the scrap. I get the big green pipe they use for city water mains. They are heavy but will never break. There aint a hog out there that can get thru that. I love walking down the trail at night and hearing that pipe being pushed around. My heart goes nuts. Hog hunting has to be the biggest rush. You are going to love hunting over your new pipes.

thats an awesome idea.........ive been huntin hogs as long as i can remember and ive put hundreds of "feeders" of different types in the woods but i can't believe ive never seen this before.......i'll be stopping at the hardware store on the way home!

Stop by a construction site for freebies first. Maybe that is just the cheapass in me

Nice!

I put a 90, on the end of mine to make it easier to fill. It had too many holes and they were emptying it over night so I duct taped over several of them....

nice pics.. pipe working good...

[Edwards]

talked me into it ,believe ill build some now.

Be prepared to ductape some of the holes up. I had 10 holes, now I have 5. Takes them twice as long to empty it out. Heck, I bet if it had one hole they would empty it out.

They work great for pigs and we also use them for deer. If you put protein in them, you will also get porcupines if you have them on your lease.

They are cheap and easy to make but work really good.

[ArcheryAddict]

Awesome, I will have to make me some.

I made mine 3 years ago. I didn't go cheap. I went hvy wall with the pipe. No cable all chain!! I can't wait to put rocks in mine!! Fantastic idea!!

Mental note.....I put deer cane in my hog pipe along with the corn. It clogged up the feeder someting fierce!! Rookie mistake.......

Disconnecting it from the tie down is fun for the kids. Its like Easter egg hunting!! The boys bail out of the truck and see who can find the pipe first.
