Built Big Bertha # 4 today to take out West with me to Dryden in a few weeks. Wanted a feeder that would spread corn in one direction because some of the big bucks won't jump in the feed pens. Got a Krivoman directional unit, some steel, and an old 80 gallon air tank.... Began this AM at around 8....

Was going to build a bigger cage with a door, but didn't want to pay the $69 for the 2"x4" panel so I said let's just roll with it and what I had. Welded it all in, and figure if it needs fixing, I'll just bring it back in one day and cut it out.

Used a steel wheel that I cut in half for the opening hatch and made a lid from plate and flat strap.

Got base coat of paint on just before dark. Gonna add some camo and a few extra details tomorrow. Will try her out to see how far she shoots corn before I paint tomorrow and I'll post video then.
