D I Y hog feeder

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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

Heres my pics of my 20.00 hog feeders[ATTACH]146061[/ATTACH]

These work great but they also work for deer

[Nitro1970]

This is the kind I used.

Cool. Going to convert a few of my feeders today.

pvc with caps but what I used was pipe that was given to me. So I had no cost in it.

[Uncle Saggy]

You use pvc or the cheap drain pipe? I love this idea....much better than the gravity feeder with the wye on the bottom

[Fishndude]

I put holes all over the pipe. The 3/8" makes it pretty tough to get any corn out. One complete roll gets you about 3 kernels.

[Uncle Saggy]

Holes on one or both sides?

Thanks for the ideas.
