put mine out last wed. check camera this wed. i used tpost with 2" steel ring and end ibolt

usually like pafree said hogs will empty it out in one night..

Cant wait to see the pics amigos..

I've got two going right now, and they are 5' long, and I drilled only four holes in each and when I check them about once every five days they are empty.

They hold 20# per pipe so a forty pound bag takes care of both feeders.

I haven't had a chance to hunt them yet.

Another version...

That one looks awesome homie....

Put a few rocks inside that are too big to fit through the holes. It will still rattle after they get all the corn out and they'll hang around trying to get the last bit out.

Yea that�s what pafree does...did u just build yours Nicholosi.. It�s amazing but I left my hog tube for over like two weeks now and I found the pvc pipe like 50 yards away I was amazed they actually unscrewed it and opened the lid and found nothing... I�m waiting for my game camera to arrive so I can see what�s going on when I�m not there...

cool idea

thanks

I got pretty the same setup on my pipe. Only thing I did is I put a bushing in the top so the eye bolt could spin free. I put chain on it and drove a T-post in the ground wrapped the other end of the chain around it. Works great.

sounds great im almost done with the light post....

Awesome bro.. let me know how it turns out!

bump!!

I had a couple of malfunctions the first time out. They broke the swivel inside the tube. I think that happened only because the cable got tangled up on the teeth of the t-post and they wrapped the cable around and around the t-post until the end cap of the tube was against the t-post. That gave them a lot of leverage. So I put a heavier duty swivel inside the tube and slipped a 2' long piece of PVC over the t-post to hopefully keep the cable from getting tangled on the t-post teeth again. I will be going out next weekend to check the hog tube and fill my deer feeders.

similar problems with mine. they untwisted the 1/8 steel cable and frayed it. i figured you make hog snares out of it then it would last. i switched to a 1/4" heavy strength rope that i picked up at the army surplus store. they still twist it up but no breakage.

i do like twinbubba's ideal of the pvc on the t-post or even a short piece on the end of the cable/rope that connects to the t-post.

guys change that steel cable to chain,

Not a bad idea...mine hasnt torn i will still look for a chain and keep it close amigo

it worked for me, never lost a pipe feeder or had to look for it

Try placing the swivel more in the center of the chain or cable rather than on the end. Believe it will allow more freedom. Should one end get tangled the center is still free to rotate.

Gotta try one of these

I didn't put a cable on mine. Half the fun is tracking down the tube every time I go back.

lol i lost several of these bro good thing there cheap to make...... hogs are pretty strong and want there food jaja
