Oh I see the feeder spouts now on the left. I thought it looked like a spinner motor the first time.
How often are you having to fill the 55 gallon drum protein feeder?!?
The deer on my place will empty a 1000# protein feeder in less than two weeks, so I’d be filling one like that every 3-4 days. I’ve got a timer on the protein feeder this year.
For me it seems to fluctuate on how much rainfall we have had. During the drought they ate protein more heavily. This year they didn't eat as heavy until the last month and half. (Drier time of year and less fresh young grazing and browse.)
Mine are the same way. I’ve had them empty it in a week, and there have been times it took 3 weeks. I’ve got it set up so I can adjust how much feed comes out. It’s 2.5 hours from my house so I was afraid they’d eat it too quick for me to refill it, it I’ve been able to stay on top of it this year. They’ve had a bunch of rain down there this year so that’s helped.

These bucks are loving the horse feed.
I just realized I forgot to fix the time on the camera when I filled the feeder yesterday.

What horse feed are you going with?
I'm going to be adding a new gravity feeder to a spot and might give it a shot . . .
It’s made by a local (meaning in Texas) feed company Lone Star Feed, and it’s their 14% All Stock. It says “horse feed” on the bag, but I feed it to everything. The deer eat it really well, and it’s only $9/50 lb bag.
Finally something other than pigs . . . 
Damn trash panda has got his trapeze game on in that last picture.
