Quick turn around on my buck skull. Now to figure out how and where to put it in the house.

No luck so far, but the food plot is looking awesome and the deer are loving it. They won’t even touch the corn. Between the food plots and the mesquite beans, they don’t need to go to the feeders. My cousin passed on a real nice 8 point last night because her husband was under the impression they could only kill culls. Hopefully he’ll show back up because he would make a damn good first buck.

When I started seeing “influencers” advertising for hunting e-bikes I thought it was pretty fucking stupid. But my dad picked this up on FB Marketplace a few months ago and with the addition of a basket and a gun rack, this thing is perfect for getting back and forth to the blind.

Feeder didn’t go off this evening. Judging by the amount of corn in it, it hasn’t gone off since I was here at Thanksgiving. First time in my life I don’t have a multimeter in the door pocket of my truck. Appears to be the battery but the only place to get one in this big town is the hardware store and they closed at 5. So guess I’ll hunt my dads blind in the morning and then go to town tomorrow to pick up a battery and a meter. Don’t feel like making a two hour round trip to Abilene tonight to get one.

That sucks. We have all experienced a dead feeder battery at some point.

Yeah just the first time I e never had a spare readily available. Still think there’s one at camp somewhere but I’ve searched the whole camper and shop and haven’t found it yet.

I have a feeder that seems to have a bad motor. Got to figure out a good way to swap the motor out without wasting all the corn. Might have to bring another drum out there to put it in and then scoop back into the feeder once the motor is swapped. Should be fun. Haha

A second set of hands to hold over the hole while you swap motors is the way to go. Or a strip of duct tape.

Got mine going after a couple trips to town this morning. Luckily it was a bad battery (9.2v) and not a bad motor. My feeder is full so I wasn’t looking forward to shoveling 600lbs of corn out of it to change the motor and then shoveling it back in the feeder.

If his feeder is a Lamco (and probably some other brands as well) like mine, the motor is mounted inside. So you have to get the corn out to even get to the motor.
