I made a simple gravity feed feeder out of 3" PVC pipe. Everything was free including a 50# bag of corn. Next one I build will be made of much larger diameter pipe.

That's a great camo job. I was looking for a white pipe, took me a few seconds to figure it out! I bet it will work out great.

The base coat was flat camo paint. Then I took natural foliage and held it against the brown paint and sprayed black paint over the foliage. Here's what it looks like in the wild.

The pipe is about 5'8" tall and it's about an inch up of the ground. Just enough for a small amount to dribble out of the pipe as the deer nibble at the corn. Works really well.

I like the idea ! Affective and cheap! How long does that pipe full or corn last ?

Corn only lasted a day but it's only 3" diameter pipe. I'm going with 12" next. Or maybe a big bucket on the 3" pipe for extra corn.
