Because I’m a cheap bastard, I decided to take a turn at making a deer feeder. I needed a few supplies:
- Moultrey All In One Feeder Kit
- 30 gallon steel trash can
- Brown, Green, and Black spray paint
- Rope
Simply follow the cutout template in the all-in-one timer kit and mount to the bottom of the trash can.
I camouflaged the trash can by first painting the entire can brown (you could also use tan). Next I grabbed some leaves and simply sprayed green over them at random places. I finished by grabbing some more leaves and spraying some black. Here’s what it turned out like:
This was my first attempt at painting camo and it turned out pretty well. Bottom line, you can’t really screw it up.
Finally, I put a 40 lb bag of deer food into the trash can and hung it from a tree.
More to come on how well it works after a few weeks, months…………
