Guy in my club spends $300 a month on triple threat and corn to bait his area.

That’s child’s play compared to some. There’s ppl paying more for feed monthly than their mortgage cost.
We filled up 6 55gal drums before the season. I don’t think they have been touched. All the guys show up with their trucks full of sacked corn. They said it’s easier to handle the sacks then haul it by buckets.

I could get a couple drums filled at the co-op but I don’t have a tractor to get them off the truck or trailer back at camp. Also, the idea of shoveling corn out of a drum into a bunch of buckets and taking it through rough trails where it’ll get tossed and spilled just isn’t worth the meager savings of bulk. I can move 600# of sacked corn in about 1-2 minutes with just two hands.
