      ..... why you gotta be like this man, this comment shows everything that's wrong with politics in our country. liberals/conservatives are both the same in the way you're describing here only difference is your/their perspective & this attitude only makes it worse #sad (generally speaking of course this specific "topic" is pretty straight forward for anyone to get)

      I always look at some comments before I watch a video. I just seen yours and I must say I have found that to be true. And I see some people have said your comment is “what’s wrong with this country “ lolol
      The people who say that are the ones who don’t realize they’re getting played.
      Anyone who thinks your comment is what’s wrong has a lot of catching up to do.

    You handled educating people who are ignorant of hunting very well. I am not a hunter. In fact we run a wildlife preserve in 35 Acre Farm that we have. We feed the animals here to and I liked your deer feeder and I'm going to build one today. What people have to understand who never hunt is it goes much deeper than that. Not only are you doing what comes naturally to you over hundreds of thousands of years, minus the gun of course, you are going outside and you're not staring into a TV. You are helping the total deer population to survive and not suffer and die. Taking a couple of deer out of a herd and yet helping that hurts survive it's great! Thanks for the video and good luck.

    I have never been a hunter nor desire to be. I'm here because deer frequently show up in my suburban neighborhood. Obviously, they are seeking food and I want to provide them some and they're fun to watch. Thank goodness there are people who like to hunt and the deer don't starve from overpopulation. There is no where close to my home for hunting so this is great for those animals that may not make it otherwise. Thanks!

    You mentioned that some people said you should go to the grocery store for your food so nothing has to be killed. Where do they think the meat in the grocery store comes from? I don't hunt and even I understand the need for conservation and the good stewardship of the environment. I believe you when you say that you most likely help more deer stay alive through the winter months, than you take hunting.

      If you really care about wild animals, you need to buy habitat (land) for them! If you can’t afford to buy land, join an organization, like The Nature Conservancy, that can! Being an anti hunter is worthless! There are more deer killed by cars than hunters! Thanks

      @@rayhitt5564 Nationally hunters kill 6 million deer per year and 1.5 million are hit by cars so your statement is false. I'm a contributor to the 6 million. I hunt in Mississippi. Unfortunately my wife is a contributor in the 1.5 million as she has hit two in the last 5 years causing major damage and killing both.

    Excellent practical feeder! We do the peanut butter thing here in Alabama too. A couple of simple things I did to the feeder:: Put a drain screen in the bottom, eliminating the extension and cap. Also placed a 16oz drink bottle in the bottom to help disperse the corn and keep less in the bottom. Turned upside down. Enjoyed your video!

  • @TarmacBlackIX
    @TarmacBlackIX Před 5 lety

  • @gdawg4ever119
    @gdawg4ever119 Před rokem +1

    I figured you would drill some holes in the bottoms for water to drain out bc some water can get in the opening there.
    Most I’ve seen have the holes in the bottoms for that reason.

  • @carlhansen8672
    @carlhansen8672 Před 5 lety +2

    2018... 40 oz peanut butter at Dollar General is now 2 for $7.00. Still a good deal. And I agree that feeding deer in the winter improves deer vitality and health. Also if you let bucks with less then 6 point go it will also improve deer quality over time To save $ buy 6" sewer and drain pipe from your local hardware store. Lowe's and Home Depot charge $54.00 for a 6" wye locally. $24 dollars for the same sewer and drain at my True Value store. BTW the peanut butter trick really does work. I even have black bears on camera eating it. Great video and a new sub. Good job

  • @silenceofthehams6902
    @silenceofthehams6902 Před 6 lety +1

    Liked the video. I will add a design change that you haven't considered. I use a plastic drain screen for the bottom of my static tube feeders. They sell them in the plumbing & irrigation Dept. at any Home Depot or Lowes. That way when it rains you won't get water filling up your tube and it will keep your corn from sitting in water. Rain will drain out the bottom and the corn stays fresh. I use either stainless screws to put everything together with or pop rivets. I use a clean out cap for the top that screws on and screws off. Wont leak. Some times I have to use a wrench to get it going when I have to remove it but it beats having to try and wiggle a cap off. I don't like using any glue because I have had it where glue has failed plus the odor. Im going to try and use 6" diameter pipe for my next one I do. That and get a metal 5 gallon bucket with the trap mounted to the bottom for more feed plus the 6-8' tube it won't get emptied as often.

  • @Brainchild69
    @Brainchild69 Před 2 lety +1

    Ignore those people talking about 'tricking the deer'. Large deer populations can devastate an area, stripping away everything green from the ground up to about five feet, and you're hunting for food not wiping out an entire species for sport. Just ignore them. I like your idea and this is a good vid. My only concern would be rain getting into the opening where the deer eat from.

    • @FernHillOhio
      @FernHillOhio  Před 2 lety +1

    Awesome plan I’m trying your technique this year as well. I’m n Indiana and can’t bait during season but we can up until a few weeks before season. Begins. If we use mineral or salt blocks the dirt must be dug up as well. This is a perfect way to feed and attract deer all year and then remove before season. Grear idea and a well explained video. I thank you for sharing. Don’t worry about the nay sayers. They have no clue. The same negative people go the the butcher shop or store to by meet that a farmer purposely fed and raised only to be slaughterd so these nay sayers can eat it. Talk about a double standard lol. Thanks again and good luck this season to yo7 and all the fellow hunters.

    I hunt mulies in Southwest Texas panhandle and if it wasn’t for some of us hunters the deer population would not be what it is. The winters are harsh here not to much snow but we do get very dry winters killing just about every bit of forage these deer have. So when it comes to us hunters we put out as many feeders we can. I don’t like to hunt on food plots or near feeders so I find the trails they use to get to the plots. Keep up what ur doing.

    Thank you for explaining to ignorant people while hunters use food. I'm from new jersey where it is legal, and controlling the population is necessary... which is why the state loves hunters, but when you feed deer throughout the year it keeps them healthier, stronger, and builds up their immune system and anti hunters don't see that aspect of it. So thank you for explaining that. I will also be using the peanut butter and deer feeder tactic they're awesome!
