Feeder Modification (Crazy Idea!) - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

We were down at the lease this weekend, talking to all the landowners while helping herd goats and sheep to pens. They all asked why we don't mount a blinker relay and car horn to our feeders. They use this setup for goats and sheep as well. When the feeder feeds it sounds the horn like a vehicle to draw in the animals from afar. Apparently, the deer get accustomed to the horn and attribute the sound to food.

I would never have believed it if I did not see it myself.

Has anyone else ever done this to a deer feeder?
