will some one post me plans to make coon feeders

This coon feeder can be mounted to a tree or post (don't mount it any higher than you can reach to fill it). Or you can just set it on a stump. The platform can be made out of scrap plywood to cut down on cost (You may want to paint it to help it beat the elements of rain etc.... If you are going to mount it to a tree or post, first mount the platform and then screw or nail the bucket to the platform. For the bracing you can use 2x4's or some plumbers strapping, either way you are talking about a lot of weight when filled with (cheap) dog food, plus the weight of a coon, so use plenty of screws when putting it together. About the only thing I see that the pic does not go into detail about is the piece of 1 1/2" PVC pipe that is sticking out near the bottom of the bucket on the right side. This piece of PVC needs to be about 4" long. Get a adapter and saw it in half, this will fit inside the bucket, just connect the PVC pipe to the adapter Be sure and cut an exact hole for the pipe to fit through as this will lessen any wobbling. Be sure and glue the adapter and the pipe. * NOTE * Putting sardines on the top for a few days will sure attract the coons in a hurry, if they are anywhere close.

sorry cant get the pic to show up[/img][/b]

I've had good luck just using a 5 gallon bucket.




Or if you want you can dig a hole and put corn in i and fill it with water. the coon will love this.



Tracks at the hole.



Both of these are at my house and I don't hunt over them. I do however catch a coon every once in awhile to mess with a pup of walk the pups around the feeders to see how they act.

Here ya go, no screws, nuts, bolts, or blueprints required. Just 4" pvc and a couple of bungee cords then a little spray paint.



From top to bottom it is a cap, straight pipe, Y, and screw-in plug. The longer you make it the more food you can put in it. If it is too tall just undo the top bungee cord and tilt it to fill. These are really hard for people to spot and vandalize. If they do...the thing didn't cost much to make anyway so it isn't so bad.

All of the y pipe I find will not take a screw in plug. Is the y a 4" also or is is 3"?

It all fits together so I guess all the parts are 4" or made to fit into 4" parts. I go to Home Depot and take the small pieces and match them all together and then to the pipe before I buy. I have to do that because they aren't marked and people keep mixing the sizes up and putting them in the wrong shelf baskets. If the Y pieces aren't threaded you may be able to find a cap for the bottom. I had to use a screw-in plug because all the Y pieces at our Home Depot for some reason are threaded or I would have capped the bottom.

Thanks....I was looking at Menards. I wil be off the Home Depot.

Get some old tires and nail them up on a tree out of a deers reach and fill them with corn
