Very funny.....I can tell you this camo pattern isn't bad, my son and I are thinking about painting his little electric 4 wheeler the same pattern. I think it would work well for box blinds and stands..if someone had the inclination.

We've made gravity feeders for years and some were white pvc, some were light green pvc, some were blue, and we even painted a few with camo type coloration, not near as nice as the ones Triple Creek Reaper and son have done, the deer didn't seem to have a preference. I believe the big advantage of camo paint might be to discourage a rouge from finding your feeder. We have been using those big red-orange colored plastic barrels for the automatic feeders hanging from a tri-pod. I believe the biologist tell us that Bambi is color blind but a contrast that's unnatural will cause a deer to hang up till he is satisfied of no danger or his hunger for shelled corn pushes him on. It's still a great project to do with child! Treefarmer
