When I hunted around bears, they would snatch them right off the tree

how much corn do they hold? What was the cost?

I am guessing a little over 72 lbs of corn total. I have just over $40 into each one, if I went with 4" all the way through, I think you can build them in the $28 to $35 range.

don't forget the cheap lttle plastic cap that fits inside of the tube before the end cap, or whereverver you choose, and creates a small false bottom. you put in some marbles that will make noise when the tube is nudged and 1 animals will think it's always full and 2 it will wake you up when snoozing. costs under 1$.

I am worried about this...It seems most of the people on here had more problems with bears reacting to timed feeders flinging corn than hand spread or gravity feed. Its a gamble but I figured you can't buy a very good timed feeder for $40 and if these do not get messed with, they will hold a hell of alot more feed.
