Before the end of season its always ends up being a pond under my feeder and I end up having to hand throw corn around the perimeter of the pond making the point of a feeder pointless....the deer seem to stand under there and trample a hole when its muddy and then comes the mud pit pond under it....havent had many pigs this season so I can't blame it on them....has anyone ever found a remedy for this?...I thought about adding a mound of dirt packed down under the feeder so once they trample it down some, its still not so low and holds water....

I built a 6'x6' platform under a couple of mine---but they just walk into the muddy around the platform and when they walk away there is lots of mud on their feet/legs. After a month or two of damp/wet weather and many many hogs/deer at the feeder, another hole will develop. Only way to completely eliminate it is to pave/concrete the ground under/around the feeder.

I have one of four feeders with same problem. Every other year it seems we bring dirt in with fro t end loader. I need to add gravel at some point I suppose.

I tried the cattle panel idea and they just stomped it down in the mud. The only thing I have done that worked reasonably well was before they were able to dig a hole I put down a sheet of treated plywood. I drilled holes around the edge and staked it down and it lasted a couple of years. It eventually warped and I found a snake living under it which ended that experiment.
