Throwing Corn all over?

Dont worry with that, just spread the corn in a 30 foot by 30 foot square in front of the camera. I have had cameras out weekly for a month now, deer will like this better with the corn on the ground. It is more natural for the deer to graze while eating, and they will start eating it immediately.

The reason I don't like the throwing corn everywhere is I will most likely attract more squirrels and other rodents before more of the deer can get to it. Plus, animals urinating in the corn could spread disease. So, I have decided to make two different types of feeders. The first one is the one on here with a PVC tube and a 90 on the end.
The second, is a 5 gallon bucket (camo) drill inch and a half holes around the sides put the lid on and fill with corn. Then I am going to string it up from a tree about 3 feet high, and place some loose corn below it. The idea is for deer to hit the bucket with their head or feet and it will kick out corn. I'm hoping this will minimize other rodents from stealing the corn. One of my buddies did this and said he had great success with it. I will try both here in a month and let you guys know the results.

Do you guys put a 90 and a 45 on the end or a 90 and another 90, or what? Sounds like a heck of an idea, never thought of making something like that, it soundslike some of the dog/cat feeders you see.

This does work very well, but I used a big barrel instead, with the same general Idea though. I did put out my trail camera and I couldnt believe all the stinking coons. I thought the squirrels would be my main concern. I will tell you that the deer around here anyways will hit the corn every night once the snow hits the ground.
