Buckmaster.
I built my own feeder out of a 55 gallon drum $13.
Went to Walmart brought the brackets for the legs $20, the spinner with a timer $65, they also have a cheaper version that has a sensor that triggers at dawn/dusk it is about $25, solar charger $13 and rechargeable battery $9
Took about 40 minutes to make. A friend gave me some steel pipe for the legs.
It holds 440# of corn I have it spinning out 4# per day so I should only have to fill it up about twice a year cause as soon as the season is over I will reduce the output to 2# a day.
I went and had a look at one already made and they wanted over $300 for it so by making it myself I saved about $180 the only thing I did not worry about painting mine camo.

this will help out. get a 5 gallon bucket,get a top to seal off the top from water, air,ect.....cut a hole out on the side close to the bottom about 2 inches wide2 long.get some plastic pipe make it fit and seal it off with cocking glue .the pipe shood be only 2 inches long down at a angle then put a peace of wood or plastic of some sort,and cut half away and slide it up in the pipe glue it on. makes your feed stop from going out all the time.deer bumps, feeder corn goes out works for me.total cost is 5 dollers for all the glue and pipes.buckets free ,and i forgot camo paint 3 dollers.
go deep hunt hard.

I had a really nice diagram for building a ladder stand out of some 2x4s etc.... Lets see if I can dig it up and post it. It was from a book by one of the local hunting/fishing gurus...Tom Fegely.

I build all my own ladder stands..well all but one I bought. I build them out of 2x4' s and make them different depending on where I am putting it and if I plan to use it as a morning and or evening only stand or one I will spend all day in. I will post some pics as soon as I get them scanned!
