    I was looking for the link but forgot the solenoid part. Mine was a yellow cheap plastic one, but worked for a good while

      I've been thinking about making one. But at the cost of the pennco, it's just not worth it.

I hunt old Mexico where the feeder going off is good, but that's not the same for these piney wood deer.
        So your saying they wont come to a feeder that makes noise to eat corn but will come to a feeder that drops corn out of a barrel?

        I understand the hand corning part as I use a lot of road feeders versus traditional feeders. Just doesn't make much sense to me if corn is coming out of a barrel how a buck wont come to it if it is spun out vs dropped.

        As a disclaimer I have done some east texas and Louisiana hunting and if there were deer in the area they came to the feeder.

                    It's pretty simple really. U think deer can't find corn without hearing that god awful slinging noise? Why do you think big east tx bucks are killed off hand corn? How do you think deer can find acorns and stick to them? Because they can find food, so when they find this corn dumped from a barrell they will return like they do to acorns. However, they won't have to hear a ring a ding ding come and get it boys, bc mature bucks in my woods don't like that.

                        I've had deer leave from one feeder and head to the next once they hear it go off. They know that the sound means food.

                        Just my opinion but I wouldn't buy one.

                          Where's your lease? Goliad county? If so then that's how it should be there, but that's a long way from the high pressure etx deer that can live off acorns alone.

                            The only down side I can see with this stealth feeder is you can't time your farts and beer can opening when your loud feeder goes off !!

                                That is a good point too. I ve been woken up from some good naps by that racket.
