I have used both corn and dog food in my feeder both with pretty good results. The thing with corn I'm seem to be feeding the squirrels and deer more then the coons and dog food really is just to expensive. I notice that horse feed is quit a bit cheaper. Wondering if any of y'all have tried horse feed or any thing eles that might be cheaper? Thanks

Put water on your corn once it sours coon will tear it up.

Sweet feed will draw the squirrels and deer still.

Wondering how the sour corn would work in a bucket feeder about getting cloged up?

Sour corn is good but draws hogs bad here

500lbs of peanut butter in the Black Barrel.
The black barrel has the peanut butter in it. the other barrel next to it has a rubber pan in the bottom with 5 shovels full of peanut butter in it. I drilled 3 holes 1.5in with a hole saw in the bottom side of the black barrel but the peanut butter is to thick to feed down on its own so I shovel it in the pan in the bottom of the other plastic drum. It last about 10 days. I've got another 15 gallon feeder about 50 feet down the hill with shelled corn in it. When this pic was made I didn't have the peanut butter barrel.

Peanut Butter Factory. This is waste peanut butter not for human consumption. There are several PB factories in Ga. don't know which one this came from. My son got this for me saw it on craigs list. The man he bought it from feeds it to his cows.

I was feeding dog food and corn. It was expensive. Find a local thrift bread store. They sell expired bread and snacks cheap. I can keep 10 25 gallon drums full on about $30.00 a month.
