You know you can't put feed on the ground where there are hogs. The deer will rarely come in once the hogs have found it. You can use a 30 gal drum if you want more volume. My original plan was to use steel pipe with a plate welded on top to screw the plywood to and have it about 36" off the ground. Coons an possums will try to climb up the pole but will not be able to get around the plywood to get to the feed. Hopefully the hight will keep the hogs from getting any corn or ricebran.
A drill, jigsaw, two-24" square pieces of plywood, a few screws and 3 buckets is what I used.
Cut the lip off the first bucket and cut a small V at the top. I then cut a 2" gap at the bottom leaving four strips for braces. You can narrow the gap depending on your choice of feed.
I then cut the bottom off the second bucket and pushed it onto the first bucket top to top.
You can put a few screws to secure it.
I cut the third bucket off about 2" from the bottom and srewed it to the 24" piece of plywood for the lid.
You can use a treated post 5'-6' and bury it using a post hole digger till you have 3' above ground. Screw your feeder to the top by seperating bucket #1 from #2 and secure it with long screws with washers for strength.
