Drink a 2 liter of Dr. Pepper and use the empty bottle to fill up with corn. Place several around stand and watch what happens. The bottle protects the corn and the deer kick it around to get corn out like self feeder. Really works well they will frequent the area if you keep them full and can always come back. Dublin Dr. Pepper works best!! lol j/k

I've actually seen that trick years ago on a place we hunted in Gordon. I was young and couldn't figure out what the purpose was. Dad filled me in on the trick.

Easier to shoot? After emptying a 7&7 bottle? Hmm!

I was a poor farm boy. Those 2 liters were the most affordable feeders a guy could get. They work really well. I got a hold of a bunch of 1 liter glass bottles and used those. At night it sounded cool listening to all those bottles being kicked.

Really? I think you are supposed to drink it slow to enjoy all 23 flavors.

That's a good trick to use on public land where you can't set a feeder up.

Baiting is illegal on public land, but not a bad concept with acorns and a hollowed out log.

I have a feeling you won"t hit anything one shoot at after drinking all that. Well, you might hit one of the three you see. They just won't fall.

You put the lid back on?

Re: 2 Liter of Dr. Pepper trick!!! - 12/14/09 02:41 PM

It works. I've even just poked a few holes in the bottle, filled with corn and poured in some hog wild, put the lid on and threw it down and the hogs will fight with it for a couple of days too. One big one actually carried one off.

easy now....

but a funny comment about this thread. A fellow Aggie read this thread and told me about it. Said to cut the Dr. P bottle in half and about 1/4 full of Dr P to mix with corn.

I don't see that info here? lol

Re: 2 Liter of Dr. Pepper trick!!! - 12/14/09 05:15 PM

Yeah the lid on, and a few holes cut in it like I said. The trick is for them to have to chew it out. I cut about 5 or 6 holes 1/2" or a little less and let them have at it.

Re: 2 Liter of Dr. Pepper trick!!! - 12/14/09 05:17 PM

And I'd say most Aggies are more educated than I am anyhow.

We take a 3" diameter pvc pipe about 4 fee long. Drill holes in it and cap the ends with a screw off on one end. Fill full of corn, hog wild, and some lava rocks and screw a chain and t-post it down. They will kick that thing around, and the bucks will beat it up...

Re: 2 Liter of Dr. Pepper trick!!! - 12/14/09 05:29 PM

Yeah, my dad used to do that. They do actually come and kick the mess out of those bottles. It works, and I'm all about cheap deer feeders! And they are extremely portable as well.

Re: 2 Liter of Dr. Pepper trick!!! - 12/15/09 12:37 PM

Make sure it is glass and not plastic. The plastic won't hold up around hogs. I've tried the PVC in sewer pipe. It works pretty well.

Re: 2 Liter of Dr. Pepper trick!!! - 12/15/09 12:47 PM

Well I meant for deer even though most places are seeing lots of hogs. I do not put cap on and punch no holes in it. I let it come out of the lid. Although I guess it really dont matter.

If anyone tried this for the first time after reading this tread give us update on sucesses!

I can attest that I have feeders and I have a place I bait by just pouring on the ground a bag of corn every two days and the poured corn has triple the bucks on camera!!! Just food for thought. Although its not feezable for people to do without feeders because of driving distance I hunt accross the street on 800acres and make a 4 wheeler drive about 1/2 mile from house and I keep this routine up and wont hunt my feeders!

I've seen those, but they had a rope tied around the neck of the bottle and the other end of the rope tied to a tree. Basically just to keep in in the same place. The ones we saw were placed by poachers on a lease we used to be on.

We used the 2 liter bottles for about 20 years. Then someone posted this on THF. Easier to fill and they work.
