gravity feeder height

[chris1911]

is there a good height that i can hang a gravity feeder that the deer can reach and the pigs cant? i dont care about coons and squirrels.

[Big pig]

I don’t see any coons on my Boss Buck tripod style feeder.
But I did put PVC pieces on each leg.

I'm thinking I built mine at 32" but not sure.

[doright]

Mine is 42" from ground to bottom of tube. Occasionally a big hog can still rear up an reach it but he usually will just cause it to spill some on the ground.

[Krivoman]

38 to 42 high is perfect.

Maybe it was 42", I do too many projects to remember all them.

[chris1911]

its a redneck blind tpost feeder, but im going to hang it on a tree.

Build mine 42in from the ground.

[Low Fence]

Mines 42” to bottom of tubes and mature deer look like giraffes trying to eat from it. I get very little usage.

I’m dropping to 38” next week and lower if needed

Coons can reach this one that belongs to a good friend of mine. I have the same one. We’re going to dig down about a foot or so in the red area. Another pic for height reference. I think it’s 36-38”.

[Low Fence]

You can see at 42” just how small a deer really is. They have ate less than 20# in over a month and there a deer there almost daily

I set some 6” pvc feeders at 40”.... untouched for 3 weeks. Dropped to 35 or so, can’t keep em full

Depends what the size of deer your feeding are? 120 or 200 Lb. 39 4/8 is a good height

[Ginja Ninja]

Man, some raccoons verticals will surprise you...
I had one set up almost 4 feet off the ground. I am pretty sure the coons repelled down from the branch it was hanging on and feasted.

Chris, I set my redneck feeders just above my belly...right at 40 inches. Works good for deer. I only have one hog that sweeps up what the Coons and squirrels scrape out. Close that plate to almost as low as it will go. Wide open and they spill a lot into he ground. 80 lbs last me about 2 weeks.
