how high off the ground do you put the feed tubes?

Low enough for a fawn to eat and high enough for a buck to eat. That will depend on how big your are on average in your area.

stxranchman its southeast Oklahoma. I was thinking 24in maybe a little higher?

For adult deer it is a bit low. I would say around 30" or bit higher. Your deer are going to be larger bodied on average also. Most feeders sold are in the 36-38" range and IMO that is just a bit to high for a deer to eat easily from. They can eat at that height but some really have to stretch to eat.

thank you for the info!

All of ours range from 36-38 being the best height that it is hard for most pigs to reach and varmints. Your fawns can reach them at 6 months as well. We do make them lower from time to time for special request at no additional charge.

My place is in South Central Oklahoma and I have mine at 42".

3 or 4 inches taller than the lagrest coon on your pleace, ive lost many many $$$$$ feeding coons, standing on thier back legs reaching up and eating.

I was wondering the same. Building one for Llano Co. (small deer). Not really worried about the fawns as they normally don't jump in the pen anyway. But do want the yearling does to reach it. I'm thinking 34" at this point.

Can it be to low for the bucks to reach it?

if a 6month old deer is not jumping in your pen they are too tall.. cattle pannels?

Yes it can as it can be to tall.

I have more pics on another computer with fawns in pens in Sept. These are from early Oct. this past year.



This feeder was at 36"+ and I dug the legs down so that it is now at around 30-32". That is a fawn on this side going to eat at the feeder.

Nope, 34" hog panels. They can jump in but generally they don't, prefer to walk the perimeter.

Finished my build Friday, built the outlet at 35".
