What pray tell were you doing in there? Your bringing back bad memories.Loose them pipes ..... get some barrels. Dump in two bags(80lbs)of corn. With the right sized holes it will last a very long time. Remember also...the longer it lasts and the wetter the corn gets inside,the "better" it smells. As a "bonus" throw a small can of el cheapo cat food in. NOW.......after a week or so,it smells like the douche room in the Lucky Lady Hotel in Bangkok. --- pruhdlr
I likes that idea !!! Condition 'em to come when called.Yes they can, or on the small ones I add some dry dog food for smell as it will not come out of the holes till it breaks up some. I have added a cow bell to each barrel and when I am in the stand I carry another bell, when I ring it the hogs think someone is feeding at the barrel. These are the long distance bells and are heard for a long way.
Yup, more work, less reward is a good thing for the pocket book in this case. LOLI put 3 holes in it. My last one I put like 10 holes in it and the raccoons would clean it out after just a couple days. It is a 4". I was surprised you use so few holes, now I understand.
