So, I'm a yankee transplant...enjoyed many a year of good hunting in the cold north, but the economy and a hot wife has driven me to Texas. Been here 2 years and loving it. I've adapted to the change nicely I think...got the TX Flag inlay for my Chevy logo...I LOVE living here. Proud to be a resident (unfortunately, not a naitive, or a true Texan by most people's standards )
One nice benefit is the LONG deer season we enjoy (2 weeks of firearm season in MI) and the use of feeders (a big no-no up north).
I am in the process of building my hunting equipment supply back up (blinds, stands, etc). Last year, I borrowed a feeder, but now I'm getting my own. The one I borrowed had some pretty heavy duty legs made from old water pipe...hogs really couldn't budge it much. So, I'm looking to build my own of similar quality and I already have the 55gal barrels and the spinner motors. I'm just needing to get some legs, but I'm still pretty new to this and am looking for some suggestions. I would like something pretty heavy.
Are there any sites that are good for ordering some heavy duty mounts, or is there anyone on here that is a welder and makes these for a fair price, or can one recommend a good source for these in the East Texas area (live in Lufkin).
Any other suggestions are also welcome...
