View from your stand..

Heres my little podunk thrown together spot. Set it up on the cheap and in less than 4 days I already have a piggy showing up. I havent hunted in years so I didnt want to dump a bunch of money into something that I wasnt sure if I was going to be good at. The spot I chose sits in the middle of a "bowl" shape with 5 acres of swamp on both sides surrounded by 190 something acres of hardwoods. . Im sure you guys have some bad ass spots so lets see em!!

what is that a can feeder? need to be higher and trim the brush so you can see to the Rt of the pole. Otherwise looks like a nice spot.



you can see the stand behind the feeder motor

What is a can feeder? Its a cheap Moultrie collapsible feeder I got off amazon. I like it because it takes AA batteries and it got 4.5 out of 5 stars out of almost 200 reviews so I figured I'd give it a shot. It holds about 35 lbs of corn and I go out there about twice a week so Im not worried about it emptying on me. How much higher does it need to be? I am 6'4'' and the bottom of it is about 4 or 5 inches over my head.

looked shorter than that, I would have it to the top, but that will be OK. Can feeder hols 54lbs, motor on bottom of a can all in one.

 

[FUPAGUNT]

Yeah that 4x4 is a 16 footer buried about 3 feet on the ground with 150 lbs of quik-crete. Maybe I should raise it up a bit more.. And yeah that is an all in one feeder

like I did w this one on the Lft, it came off an old can feeder

 

[FUPAGUNT]

Ahhhhhh I gotcha. I guess I could take the motor off and use any bucket or whatever

 

[FrankT]

Right, I like these blue barrels, they were for dry fertilizer and have a screw top. They will hold 100lbs max and are tough.

Here's a cell phone pic from my brother's farm Georgia stand looking towards the right. This was taken last Friday. In the pic is a spike, a 6 point, and a 9 point. He was hoping the 9 point would come out for me when I was hunting earlier that week, but it didn't. To the left (not shown) is a 4 point. My brother is hoping for a large doe for his freezer. He doesn't shoot a buck unless it's bigger than one he's already taken, so we're hoping the 9 point is around next year and bigger.

 

[FUPAGUNT]

Dang Daezee that's a sweet spot!

From the stand to the far edge of grass is 229yd. The plot to the left is 138yd. No hunting over "bait" in Georgia where he lives, but you can plant stuff. My brother sets the "rules" for anyone allowed hunting. In particular, a buck has to have at least 1 point more than the largest you've taken there before. The buck taken last year had 6 points; the year before I took a 3 point. No button bucks or yearlings if possible. The older the doe the better. I have no problem with his rules; actually, they are kinda fun and make me really watch and evaluate the deer. I also think that when a deer is left alone to eat, its presence attracts more deer...the most I've had in front of me was 9 at one time. This year I took 1 doe about 1 1/2 year old or maybe older and 1 doe older than that. I watched a 3 point for hours over 3 days and saw a spike and a 6 point for about an hour each.

I've got pigs at the first one but they've disappeared without a shot at the 2nd spot ?

 

[FrankT]

Hog are really scattered during deer season, activity and too many feeders going.
