automatic fish feeder

[hounddog25]

the past few weeks i been working on a few things on shangri-la homestead.i put in a brace like you use for fence and went across my pond to a nice sized hickory with a steel cable for a fish feeder.then put in a clothes line like pulley system to run bucket back and forth to center of pond.it will feed fish with a 4 second blast of food twice a day.i can set it to feed up to 18 seconds.i hope it works out OK.heres a few shots of the test run of the bucket.i don't like the shackle set up.it cocks the trolley over a bit.but i will get something rigged up as my mind thinks about it more.the ends of the rope need to be at the same point pulling against each other.might weld a couple of eyes in the trolley.






heres the bucket out over the pond

Man that's pretty wild there buddy ;D Before I saw the bucket I thought you were setting up with one of those T handle things so you could sail yourself down the hill and drop yourself into the drink That's about the most elaborate fish feeder I've ver seen. You ought to set one up like that for whitetails. Once you get them feeding out of the bucket... you could pull it closer, then closer...then a little closer... then BANG. :)LMFAO

Now that's a karma worthy apparatus if I ever saw one. Have a little.

thanks folks.my place is just a old run down place that needs alot of work done on it.but i have made leaps and bounds over the past year.i just had to put my nose to the grindstone for awhile about some outside work and now it has slowed down.so i got a bit more free time to be able to have a real life and do the fun things.i got 100's of ideas.if i only had the funds to execute them all.most of my stuff is on a tight bundget.....but i got stuff i have collected over the years and now it is all in the works to get set -up.i got my old mobile home setting in the middle of my field.i wished it was gone but...but i need the frame out from under it for my bridge building project.....do you think it should be a draw bridge.....lol.....you all are welcome to stop by anytime..just bring gloves...lol.....wait till you see the food plot field designs for lay out.....it will grow with built in shooting lanes.....or at least that is the theory......hounddog is a sick man...roflmao.
