Ah! Feed Ring and feed at night! Good ideas. The Hula Hoop won't work as I use a Reminton game scatter-feeder on pontoons (30 gal garbage-can hopper) which has a pretty healthy diameter pattern. Bob, I agree with the below the dam feeding corn routine, but we are always gone, as we haul DOD stuff for our troops OTR for months at a time. So, I'll try the night-time feeding. I have 100' of 2" poly-pipe that I can connect and make what I believe will be a large diameter feed ring. Stay tuned! We'll be home in about a week.
