Best Hog Bump Feeder

[huntinpool]

This will keep them there and working for a while. They will roll it around all night. Since putting this out most deer come to this and sift instead of going to the feeder. Material used; 6" pvc cut 5' long , 1- glue on 6" cap, 1- 6" female with screw in cap, 8' of 1/8 steel cable with 4 clamps, 1- swivel cleavace that will fit stake. I used a piece of drill stem for a stake and made it 6' long. Tried a 2 foot stake and found my tube about 70 yds away the next weekend. Drilled through the glue on cap end and threaded cable through and double clamped. Made the cable 6' long and attatched the swivel cleavace. Drilled 4 holes 1 ft apart at 12-3-6-9 and staggered so as it rolls it drops corn 6' apart. Used a 5/8 paddle bit. Drops about 3-7 kernals out each hole as it goes by. This length will hold #50 of corn with about 4 inches to spare.

yep have one of those in my back yard so the squirrels can get a nice work out for some corn=]

Do the deer roll it?

[Brannon74]

very nice. I need to build a couple of those.

Perfect-o! You've got a great spot with some nice level, clear ground.

Do a search on "pig pipe" and you'll see a bunch of threads on these bad boys. I've got 4 of them on my lease. They work great.

Every deer since I put it out goes to the tube first. My feeder is about 15 yds farther away. Deer have nibbled up to it but have never seen one move it. Often the deer won't even go to the feeder even when the ground is covered. They seem more relaxed nibbeling around the tube instead. I mix wheat and chicken scratch in mine so the turkey will dig around longer as well.

With that size hole, how long does the 50# of corn last? I know the hog population makes the huge difference here, but how long does it last for you?

We tried that for the hogs but got tired of going to fill the pipe only to find it missing, then having to go look for the dang thing.

We used steel cable all the way through,tried using eye bolts that were double nutted and gauging the threads...finally, we hung them up in the trees.

Those dang hogs can be destructive!!!

I built a couple of them last week and am going to put them out this weekend.

[huntinpool]

We have alot of hogs and it still takes about a week to completely empty it. I used a piece of drill stem 6' long for a stake. 2' stake was pulled up and I found my tube in the woods 70 yds away. I ran the stell cable through the cap and pipe then used 2 clamps to hold it. Swivel on the stake end to prevent tangles.

What size hole is the best to drill? I just made one, but haven't drilled the holes yet. I don't want to waste corn, but I don't want to not have enough.

Thanks to folks in this forum for sharing their ideas, here is few photo's of my version or your feeder. I have not yet stuck one, but as soon as they start visiting on a regular basis, "It's ON"!
