Speaker 1 (00:00):
So on today's show an interview we did I guess
last week, but we had not had an opportunity to air.
I figure you can read the news headlines on your own,
and we'll usually bring them up. But if we can
pierce the world you're in and make you stop and
think about entrepreneurism, about chasing your dreams, about your passion,
(00:22):
about your opportunity to own a business and hire other
people and employ other people and live out that dream
and not leave anything on the field, and not leave
anything undone that you always wanted to do. So with
that in mind, we will begin our conversation and whether
(00:43):
you're a deer hunter or my favorite email, I got
an email from a woman who said, I've never been
a deer hunter, never will be. I don't own a ranch,
but I was fascinated by that discussion, and I hope
you will be too. Texas House approved bill requiring more
study of the warfare and based poison caput that AG
(01:03):
Commissioner Sid Miller wants for killing Farrell Hogs. House lawmakers
voted one hundred and twenty eight to thirteen to preliminarily
approve legislation that would require state agencies or university research.
Search would require state agency research or university research. You
found it, yeah, but now I'm in the middle of
(01:26):
my story. They'll have to research it more before the's
use of lethal pesticides on wild pigs. A companion bill
in the Senate has ten co sponsors. Back in February,
Miller announced an emergency state rule change allowing the use
of the warfare and based poison CAPUT, which was recently
(01:47):
approved by the Environmental Protection Agency to kill kill wild pigs.
Under House Bill thirty four fifty one that was authored
by Denton State Rep. Lynn Stuckey, the state would have
to conduct a study on its potential negative impact on
other wildlife before approving any feral hog poison. A state
district judge temporarily blocked the Agriculture Department's emergency rules in
(02:10):
March after a Hill County meat processing company I wonder
if it's Hill Country versys Hill County, joined by the
Texas Hall Hunters Association and the Environmental Defense Fund, brought
a lawsuit arguing it would hurt the meat and hunting
industries or industries as we say in Texas. Kaput must
(02:30):
be dispensed through special feeders. Also made by Kaputz manufacturer
Colorado based Symetrics ORM. We got to invest in symmetrics.
This gonna be the deal. This can be it. That
have weighted lids intended to limit other animals' access. The
label's use instructions warn against allowing livestock to graze or
(02:52):
hunting in areas around the baited feeders until at least
ninety days after removing the poison. Carcasses must be bare
e'd eighteen inches under the ground, or, if that's not
possible because of environmental conditions, removed from sight. Well that's great.
You remove them, but you got to put them somewhere
when you're done. They're heavy. So you got it. You
(03:12):
got it, all right, So listen to this. I'm getting
one of these cannon feeders. Here we go. The's guy's
in Bay City. Go ahead, that's it. He talks. Didn't
it doesn't he I watched it yesterday, but I had
the volume down, but it looked like he was talking.
(03:34):
He was showing you how. He said.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
There's there's feeder hold sech horn fat to search pounds
or corn, and it's got an air compressor. It's good
for two years and it'll shoot the corn and they
can't know what's coming.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And that way you don't have mud ruts and it's corn.
He shoots it out of hair and he just put
one at Tednugan's house this past week.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
The innovadive feeder on the market. Yees, cannon feeder. No
more spinners, no more winches. You can put out a
precise amount of feed and it's easy to feel from
the ground.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Like this, this big, big old box. Shoote. So you
got enough feed. You don't have to keep going out
and fill your feeders.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
The cannon feeder holds up to six hundred and fifty
pounds of feet. You can feed one pound one and
a half pounds if for two pounds each feeding up
to six times.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It shoots some other shoot the cannon. Shoot it because
it spreads air.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
It dispenses expensive feed out into a target, so it's not.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
In one spot, so they tear that up and then
you don't have to shoot the feeder. When you shoot
them cannon, get them away from the feet.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
To order your necks on target feeding feeder.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Feel it and forget it, Feel it and forget it. Yeah,
see some of these guys, they got thousands of acres here.
That's it. It's got a little air compressor and it
shoots it out of there. So what it does is
makes a pack of the fields and it shoots it
at an angle like a volley. It shoots a volley
(05:08):
out and it spreads it out, So you don't when
you're shooting, you don't shoot the feeder. But I mean,
the biggest part about the whole thing is you can
fill this thing so full, and I guess not have
to go back out there. They let the music play
that long. Well what's the video of? But he's not talking. Man,
(05:33):
There are so many One day we're going to do
a whole show on this field. Oh one hundred yard
touchtown returns. Now, why would they think you wanted to
watch that off? How did they know? There are so
many of these guys, the guys that we bought our
night lights, hog vision or whatever it is down in
South Texas, that whole that thing in Bay City, that
guy was a farmer, gave up farming and did the
(05:56):
there's so many of these guys. They got little fabrication
shop and they just redneck ingenuity. And you go online
and you find all that they figured out whatever problem
you have at your ranch. They can They have figured
it out and fixed it. The Michael Berry Show, Michael
Berry's Shop the number one song in the land. In

and she said you used to do a lot of
bacco work for Scott. Yes, sir, at Patriots, But that's
not what I'm interested in, right, I'm interested in canon feeders. Yes, sir,
tell me about that. How did that come about?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
That came about? Uh when Michael, when I got out
of college, I started farming.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Where'd you go to school?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
It's Saul Ross. Uh huh now bye Texas.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
That's it's not a Baptist school. That's a what is it?
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Universities?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Is what?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
It's a university?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I thought it had a denomination attached. I thought saw
Ross had a denomination attached.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
No love, Okay, all right, it's just a state. In fact,
my grandmother graduated from there. Okay, and uh. Anyway, when
when I got out of farm and I quit my
form for twenty six years and then when I got out,
I've always played around with these uh car byte guns.
(11:06):
Did you see them around airports? That make a loud boom?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah? Now what what kind of farming were you doing?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Rice farming?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And it wasn't profitable? Were you not good at it?
Or just it wasn't it wasn't meant to be.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Just wasn't meant to be. Twenty six years and then
I gave it up.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
What did you ever make any money at it?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Oh? Very little. It was the best lifestyle in the world.
Why just to raise the family and be out your
own boss?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
In the country, so you just shut it down.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Uh, well the bank did.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Oh okay, you know that makes sense. What'd you do
with all the equipment?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Uh? We sold some of it and some of it
I have, Okay, I still have. I still ranch. I
have cattle.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
How many had of cattle?
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Yeah, well you're not supposed to ask that question, but uh,
probably about one hundred and fifties.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Okay, all right, So you got into the you got
in the equipment business, and then you had an interest
in in Uh.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Well, these carbide guns that you sit around in rice
field and scared of the birds off with. All right,
it's it's it's basically a cannon. And I've always been
a big deer hunter. My family's always been a big
deer hunter, and coons and your pigs and the weather
(12:37):
was always a problem with deer feeders and feeding animals.
And I came up with this ideal. Oh, probably, oh
long time ago. I had this idea twenty five years ago,
but I had to I never did do anything with
it because I had to stop and my wife and
(12:59):
I had three boys and three sons, and so we
were all involved with them and never had time to
pursue un deal. But I got them all out of
college and I started working on this Cannon theater. Sir, No, sir,
(13:20):
They didn't go to Saul Ross. One went to played
ball for Concordian, Lutheran and Austin, and the other two
went to One went to Wharton and one went to
Brother's Port. And they have U. The twins, poth and
Colar twins. They worked at the nuclear power plant. One
(13:44):
is a mill right, the other one's electrician.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Those are good jobs.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Oh yeah in chance. Uh. The one who graduated from Concordion, Uh,
he works for Barri Kim, a chemical company here in
Bay City.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
So they're all driving, They're all sounds like they're all
doing well.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, they're doing they're doing two. I had
three national honor societies students or kids in two Eagle Scouts.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Oh wow, well, hold on just a minute. I want
to hear about this feeder a right, right, hold on,
tell them yeah, they made probably somebody else getting their
hair cut by now, Cannonfeeder dot com. You've got them.
Michael Berry Show. Denton Liisner is our guest. He's bohemian,
(14:39):
falling in from enormous barbershops. Thedn't have you ever had
a traight razor shave? Yes, sir, how long has it been?
Speaker 5 (14:48):
About the time I was in college at the Soul?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Oh, you got to try another one, man, that's just
nothing like that. Let it grow real long, stubbly and scratchy.
Enjoin them and let them they do the oils and
the hot packs and the towels and the creams, and
you just wo. Man, it's it's an indulgence.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
That sounds great. Yeah, at sixty three years of age, though,
the hair grows longer on your ears than it does
on your head.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I went into Orange to see my parents this weekend
for Easter, and my mother pulled me aside like she
was going to tell me that one of my relatives
had died. She pulled me aside to tell me that
I had hair growing out of my ears.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Mom.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
That's you don't have to you don't have that's not
a hushed tone. All right. So this cannon feeder, it's expensive,
isn't it.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Sixteen ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh, I'll give you twenty bucks and you keep the change.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
That comes with the two year warranty. Okay, all right,
and I'll save you trips going to your lease.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
All right, let's go through the fres Let's go feature
by feature.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
The first thing that the number one reason to build
this was because it's a self contained box and cap
coons or anything get in it, right right.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
It has a it has a barrel on it. This
is not a conventional feeder where you have a spinner.
It has no moving parts like a spinner.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
What's wrong with you? Your your website goes on and
on about the spinners, but the spinner. Everybody uses the spinner.
What's wrong with the spinner?
Speaker 5 (16:33):
The spinner is your coons can get up there and
spin it. Your feed falls out when it rains. Okay,
the birds bother it. I can just go on and
on and on.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
But I wish you could find someone this one.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
This one sits on the ground. You're not climbing a
you're not climbing the ladder. Okay, you're not winching it
up and down. I almost killed two of my kids
with the one my cable.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Nobody likes winches, No, they they.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Have a tendency of breaking hands.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
And everything breaking. Love the parts too, but.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
In this climbing is not good. When you get you know,
can I.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Ask you a question, because you're a lot smarter stuff
than me. Is there a way we have on our
back porch because we had a bird problem coming up
under there that we had those those swallows that are
protect nationally protecting, you're not supposed to kill them, right,
So we we created this system where when a bird
flies up there, it screeches like an owl and it's
(17:37):
it has worked. But I wonder if you could set
up some sort of a solar powered deal out there
that would make that sound because I love when we're
when we're out at the feeder waiting on the hogs.
I love the sound of the corn coming through the spinner.
Could you set something up like that for me?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Well, I tell you what there what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Sure, that rattling sound at tinting kingding kingdingding king the
corn coming down?
Speaker 5 (18:05):
I had. My feeder has a compressor in it has
a twelve owl compressor and it makes the same noise
as or similar to what the spinner does. Doctor James
kroll He and Keith Warren said that the deer can
(18:25):
fill the vipration of this compressor and they will come
to it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
All right.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Now, I was kidding on doctor Kroll's feeder. I put
a golf cart back up alarm on it so it
beat when it was going off.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Oh, I was told you put one at Ted Nugent's
house recently.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Yes, Sir, I took one to Ted Nudges and he
was he's just a pog by this thing. I have units.
I've had these units out for years and they're they're
virtually maintenance free. I have had no problem. Now what
you let me to describe the mechanisms how it works?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, but you have to do it slowly?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
All right? Like how why each aspect of it is important?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Okay? First of all, use the timer, the West Texas timer,
and that's about That is the best timer on the market.
It draws his least amount of current of any timer
out there. Second law, I use a there's an air
compressor in here. It's a by Air air compressor. It's
(19:43):
on it's a fortune five hundred comany out of California,
and it's very reliable. It has a five hundred hour
run time.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
What if I want none to have all Texas parts?
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Uh? I don't know what said about that, Michael.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Can't we find something from Texas.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Uh. Yeah, we could go to Walmart and get some
of these parts. You could basically you could really build
this whole, this whole system beside the box out of Walmart.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I don't want to do that. I just call you.
Do you deliver and set them up?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
I can, yes, sir, that I can. If you well,
it depends on how many you buy, If you buy
more multiples of three or more. Oh, come, I'll be
glad to come and set them up for you. Then
a reasonable you know, as long as it's in a
reasonable distance, not from here to the yard.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
But what if that's the day you got to get
your haircut?
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Ah, just let it go. Okay, all right, okay, this
is this these things Michael. If you are you are
you familiar with what a potato gun could do? Ummm?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I mean not intimately, but I have an idea. It's
the same concept, right, Yes, this.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Is the same concept. I shoot my corn out of
the theater up anywhere from forty to fifty yards. Come
on now, yes, sir, yard.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
That's the two pounds. That's the two pound pack. You
got two pounds?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Hold hold on a second, then hold hold on, hold on,
just all right? We'll get to that. Well, shoot off
a potato gun. So I come back with a little
more knowledge. It's next second. The Michael Varies show continues
to use Knentton. Are you an ac DC fan?
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Am I what?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Ac DC fan?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Uh? Don't particularly care for it, but I'll listen to it.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
How about ac Delco?
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Yeah, so that'll work all right.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
So, so the idea behind this cannon feeder is that
the number one if you had to say, the number
one selling point is zero maintenance or zero work because
of the size and kind of self executing nature of it.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Yes, sir Michael, this theater shoots two pounds of corn
every time it shoots.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, Now explain this to me, like I'm six years old.
How does it gather a packet of corn to send
it out? What's the mechanism inside that's gathering that amount
of corn?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
It's strictly gravity fed. Did My hopper in the theater
goes to the all the way to the front, so
it's gravity fed. Every time it goes off, it fills
the barrel back up. I have a two by three
barrel in this on this theater. And when I say barrel,
(22:59):
it is it's just like a potato gun. Every time
it shoots, two pounds of corn goes back into the
barrel and it's ready to shoot again.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Now here's what I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
The barrel extends out of the.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Box, Yes, sir, nineteen inches.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
You're not filling up the barrel outside the box, No, sure,
only inside, yes, all right. And then it creates a seal,
and then that's with that seal, and the compression is
shooting it out, yes, sir.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
At the end of the barrel, there is an inch
and a half celinoid without that's connected to an air tank,
a two gallon air tank. So the compressor fills the
air tank up within oh about fifty eight seconds. It'll
fill it up to eighty five to ninety pounds. As
(23:57):
soon as it does, it activates illinoid valve industrial solinoid
valve and it fires and when it fires, it shoots
the corn out anywhere from forty to fifty yards at
eighty to ninety pounds. You can turn this feeder up higher.
I don't recommend it just for safety reasons. Michael, are
(24:23):
you Are you familiar with what a potato gun could do?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Is that the reason why?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
No? No? For I put all three of my boys
in front of the cannon feeder and shot it and
it didn't hurt any of any one of them.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
So did you have to talk them into that or
did they? Did? They willingly agree because I had.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Whether that does? And two? Okay, but no, it will
not hurt you. Now, if you're looking down the barrel
and it goes off, it would it would probably pay
for you pretty good.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Do you have a particular brand of corn you use?
Speaker 5 (25:11):
No? Sure, no, sure, But you can fill this feeder
up with six hundred and fifty pounds of corn. Shoot
two pounds a day or four pounds a day, two feedings,
one in the morning, one in the afternoon. It will
last you approximately one hundred and sixty three days.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Approximately one hundred and sixty three days. Yes, sir, that's
very specific, didn't yes, sir? So twice so you got
to go out twice a year and refill this thing.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
So will let go back out twice a year. You're
refilling the corn and then you're what else the solar panel?
What like? What other do we have it?
Speaker 5 (25:54):
We have a twenty watt solar panel on it. Yeah,
we have a charger control, solar charger control for our
battery to maintain it correctly. Just not hooking up a
solar panel to a battery like most feeders do. We
have a solar charger control so it's not overcharging or undercharger.
(26:18):
It's just a straight twelve volt battery eighteen half hours.
What I use. It's the simplest feeder on the market.
You set your timer for one second. All your timer
is doing when it comes on, it's shitting, say seven
(26:41):
o'clock in the morning. You set it for one second.
It tells the compressor to come on. The compressor fills
the air tank up to wherever you have to found
it set at.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
How broadened is the area that the corn is being
dispensed across?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Okay, we'll shoot it out anywhere from forty to fifty
yards sixty foot area.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
How come you use yards for the distance it shoots it,
but foot for the distance of dis covers it did.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
We were with Duck Dynasty and Austin Buck Commanders in Austin,
Texas and we were shooting it in a parking lot
and we had to take measures that we were measured with.
That's just what we came up with. Well, it is
a great aquatic feed.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
But when you measured the distance that shot the corn
and you look down, what did it measure the distance.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
At the in between east kernel?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
No, the distance from where from the barrel to where
it landed like a shot.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Put about fifty yards.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
So it measured it in yards. Okay, you measure where
the first corn hit and where the furthest corn had gone.
What did it measure there?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
We did. We didn't measure that, but you said measure that.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You said that was about twenty feet or twenty foot? No,
because that would be the spread right right.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
The spread is sixty feet in the distance is forty
to fifty yards.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
How many did you have on your property?
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Oh? One, two through four right now?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
How many do you have in the proto? Yeah? How
many you have in the warehouse right now?
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Ooh, we got some probably fifteen. We have ten more
being built. We're going to MacAllen to a show in
MacAllen in a couple of weeks. Who is we My
wife and I and Lukeleisner my cousin.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
What is your name?
Speaker 5 (29:03):
Linda?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
All right?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Can you hold with me for just a minute?
Speaker 5 (29:06):
You bet?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
All right? Hold on? Do you have questions? For mom.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Michael, are you are you familiar with what a potato
gun could do?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
You know, no offense to Hannity or even rush, my
friend Mark Levin, Michael Savage. How many people have that
question asked of this?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Michael, are you? Are you familiar with what a potato
gun could do? Not?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Everybody gets asked that question every day on radio
So on today's show an interview we did I guess
last week, but we had not had an opportunity to air.
I figure you can read the news headlines on your own,
and we'll usually bring them up. But if we can
pierce the world you're in and make you stop and
think about entrepreneurism, about chasing your dreams, about your passion,
(00:22):
about your opportunity to own a business and hire other
people and employ other people and live out that dream
and not leave anything on the field, and not leave
anything undone that you always wanted to do. So with
that in mind, we will begin our conversation and whether
(00:43):
you're a deer hunter or my favorite email, I got
an email from a woman who said, I've never been
a deer hunter, never will be. I don't own a ranch,
but I was fascinated by that discussion, and I hope
you will be too. Texas House approved bill requiring more
study of the warfare and based poison caput that AG
(01:03):
Commissioner Sid Miller wants for killing Farrell Hogs. House lawmakers
voted one hundred and twenty eight to thirteen to preliminarily
approve legislation that would require state agencies or university research.
Search would require state agency research or university research. You
found it, yeah, but now I'm in the middle of
(01:26):
my story. They'll have to research it more before the's
use of lethal pesticides on wild pigs. A companion bill
in the Senate has ten co sponsors. Back in February,
Miller announced an emergency state rule change allowing the use
of the warfare and based poison CAPUT, which was recently
(01:47):
approved by the Environmental Protection Agency to kill kill wild pigs.
Under House Bill thirty four fifty one that was authored
by Denton State Rep. Lynn Stuckey, the state would have
to conduct a study on its potential negative impact on
other wildlife before approving any feral hog poison. A state
district judge temporarily blocked the Agriculture Department's emergency rules in
(02:10):
March after a Hill County meat processing company I wonder
if it's Hill Country versys Hill County, joined by the
Texas Hall Hunters Association and the Environmental Defense Fund, brought
a lawsuit arguing it would hurt the meat and hunting
industries or industries as we say in Texas. Kaput must
(02:30):
be dispensed through special feeders. Also made by Kaputz manufacturer
Colorado based Symetrics ORM. We got to invest in symmetrics.
This gonna be the deal. This can be it. That
have weighted lids intended to limit other animals' access. The
label's use instructions warn against allowing livestock to graze or
(02:52):
hunting in areas around the baited feeders until at least
ninety days after removing the poison. Carcasses must be bare
e'd eighteen inches under the ground, or, if that's not
possible because of environmental conditions, removed from sight. Well that's great.
You remove them, but you got to put them somewhere
when you're done. They're heavy. So you got it. You
(03:12):
got it, all right, So listen to this. I'm getting
one of these cannon feeders. Here we go. The's guy's
in Bay City. Go ahead, that's it. He talks. Didn't
it doesn't he I watched it yesterday, but I had
the volume down, but it looked like he was talking.
(03:34):
He was showing you how. He said.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
There's there's feeder hold sech horn fat to search pounds
or corn, and it's got an air compressor. It's good
for two years and it'll shoot the corn and they
can't know what's coming.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And that way you don't have mud ruts and it's corn.
He shoots it out of hair and he just put
one at Tednugan's house this past week.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
The innovadive feeder on the market. Yees, cannon feeder. No
more spinners, no more winches. You can put out a
precise amount of feed and it's easy to feel from
the ground.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Like this, this big, big old box. Shoote. So you
got enough feed. You don't have to keep going out
and fill your feeders.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
The cannon feeder holds up to six hundred and fifty
pounds of feet. You can feed one pound one and
a half pounds if for two pounds each feeding up
to six times.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It shoots some other shoot the cannon. Shoot it because
it spreads air.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
It dispenses expensive feed out into a target, so it's not.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
In one spot, so they tear that up and then
you don't have to shoot the feeder. When you shoot
them cannon, get them away from the feet.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
To order your necks on target feeding feeder.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Feel it and forget it, Feel it and forget it. Yeah,
see some of these guys, they got thousands of acres here.
That's it. It's got a little air compressor and it
shoots it out of there. So what it does is
makes a pack of the fields and it shoots it
at an angle like a volley. It shoots a volley
(05:08):
out and it spreads it out, So you don't when
you're shooting, you don't shoot the feeder. But I mean,
the biggest part about the whole thing is you can
fill this thing so full, and I guess not have
to go back out there. They let the music play
that long. Well what's the video of? But he's not talking. Man,
(05:33):
There are so many One day we're going to do
a whole show on this field. Oh one hundred yard
touchtown returns. Now, why would they think you wanted to
watch that off? How did they know? There are so
many of these guys, the guys that we bought our
night lights, hog vision or whatever it is down in
South Texas, that whole that thing in Bay City, that
guy was a farmer, gave up farming and did the
(05:56):
there's so many of these guys. They got little fabrication
shop and they just redneck ingenuity. And you go online
and you find all that they figured out whatever problem
you have at your ranch. They can They have figured
it out and fixed it. The Michael Berry Show, Michael
Berry's Shop the number one song in the land. In

and she said you used to do a lot of
bacco work for Scott. Yes, sir, at Patriots, But that's
not what I'm interested in, right, I'm interested in canon feeders. Yes, sir,
tell me about that. How did that come about?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
That came about? Uh when Michael, when I got out
of college, I started farming.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Where'd you go to school?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
It's Saul Ross. Uh huh now bye Texas.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
That's it's not a Baptist school. That's a what is it?
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Universities?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Is what?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
It's a university?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I thought it had a denomination attached. I thought saw
Ross had a denomination attached.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
No love, Okay, all right, it's just a state. In fact,
my grandmother graduated from there. Okay, and uh. Anyway, when
when I got out of farm and I quit my
form for twenty six years and then when I got out,
I've always played around with these uh car byte guns.
(11:06):
Did you see them around airports? That make a loud boom?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah? Now what what kind of farming were you doing?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Rice farming?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And it wasn't profitable? Were you not good at it?
Or just it wasn't it wasn't meant to be.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Just wasn't meant to be. Twenty six years and then
I gave it up.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
What did you ever make any money at it?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Oh? Very little. It was the best lifestyle in the world.
Why just to raise the family and be out your
own boss?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
In the country, so you just shut it down.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Uh, well the bank did.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Oh okay, you know that makes sense. What'd you do
with all the equipment?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Uh? We sold some of it and some of it
I have, Okay, I still have. I still ranch. I
have cattle.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
How many had of cattle?
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Yeah, well you're not supposed to ask that question, but uh,
probably about one hundred and fifties.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Okay, all right, So you got into the you got
in the equipment business, and then you had an interest
in in Uh.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Well, these carbide guns that you sit around in rice
field and scared of the birds off with. All right,
it's it's it's basically a cannon. And I've always been
a big deer hunter. My family's always been a big
deer hunter, and coons and your pigs and the weather
(12:37):
was always a problem with deer feeders and feeding animals.
And I came up with this ideal. Oh, probably, oh
long time ago. I had this idea twenty five years ago,
but I had to I never did do anything with
it because I had to stop and my wife and
(12:59):
I had three boys and three sons, and so we
were all involved with them and never had time to
pursue un deal. But I got them all out of
college and I started working on this Cannon theater. Sir, No, sir,
(13:20):
They didn't go to Saul Ross. One went to played
ball for Concordian, Lutheran and Austin, and the other two
went to One went to Wharton and one went to
Brother's Port. And they have U. The twins, poth and
Colar twins. They worked at the nuclear power plant. One
(13:44):
is a mill right, the other one's electrician.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Those are good jobs.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Oh yeah in chance. Uh. The one who graduated from Concordion, Uh,
he works for Barri Kim, a chemical company here in
Bay City.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
So they're all driving, They're all sounds like they're all
doing well.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, they're doing they're doing two. I had
three national honor societies students or kids in two Eagle Scouts.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Oh wow, well, hold on just a minute. I want
to hear about this feeder a right, right, hold on,
tell them yeah, they made probably somebody else getting their
hair cut by now, Cannonfeeder dot com. You've got them.
Michael Berry Show. Denton Liisner is our guest. He's bohemian,
(14:39):
falling in from enormous barbershops. Thedn't have you ever had
a traight razor shave? Yes, sir, how long has it been?
Speaker 5 (14:48):
About the time I was in college at the Soul?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Oh, you got to try another one, man, that's just
nothing like that. Let it grow real long, stubbly and scratchy.
Enjoin them and let them they do the oils and
the hot packs and the towels and the creams, and
you just wo. Man, it's it's an indulgence.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
That sounds great. Yeah, at sixty three years of age, though,
the hair grows longer on your ears than it does
on your head.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I went into Orange to see my parents this weekend
for Easter, and my mother pulled me aside like she
was going to tell me that one of my relatives
had died. She pulled me aside to tell me that
I had hair growing out of my ears.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Mom.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
That's you don't have to you don't have that's not
a hushed tone. All right. So this cannon feeder, it's expensive,
isn't it.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Sixteen ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh, I'll give you twenty bucks and you keep the change.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
That comes with the two year warranty. Okay, all right,
and I'll save you trips going to your lease.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
All right, let's go through the fres Let's go feature
by feature.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
The first thing that the number one reason to build
this was because it's a self contained box and cap
coons or anything get in it, right right.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
It has a it has a barrel on it. This
is not a conventional feeder where you have a spinner.
It has no moving parts like a spinner.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
What's wrong with you? Your your website goes on and
on about the spinners, but the spinner. Everybody uses the spinner.
What's wrong with the spinner?
Speaker 5 (16:33):
The spinner is your coons can get up there and
spin it. Your feed falls out when it rains. Okay,
the birds bother it. I can just go on and
on and on.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
But I wish you could find someone this one.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
This one sits on the ground. You're not climbing a
you're not climbing the ladder. Okay, you're not winching it
up and down. I almost killed two of my kids
with the one my cable.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Nobody likes winches, No, they they.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Have a tendency of breaking hands.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
And everything breaking. Love the parts too, but.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
In this climbing is not good. When you get you know,
can I.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Ask you a question, because you're a lot smarter stuff
than me. Is there a way we have on our
back porch because we had a bird problem coming up
under there that we had those those swallows that are
protect nationally protecting, you're not supposed to kill them, right,
So we we created this system where when a bird
flies up there, it screeches like an owl and it's
(17:37):
it has worked. But I wonder if you could set
up some sort of a solar powered deal out there
that would make that sound because I love when we're
when we're out at the feeder waiting on the hogs.
I love the sound of the corn coming through the spinner.
Could you set something up like that for me?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Well, I tell you what there what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Sure, that rattling sound at tinting kingding kingdingding king the
corn coming down?
Speaker 5 (18:05):
I had. My feeder has a compressor in it has
a twelve owl compressor and it makes the same noise
as or similar to what the spinner does. Doctor James
kroll He and Keith Warren said that the deer can
(18:25):
fill the vipration of this compressor and they will come
to it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
All right.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Now, I was kidding on doctor Kroll's feeder. I put
a golf cart back up alarm on it so it
beat when it was going off.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Oh, I was told you put one at Ted Nugent's
house recently.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Yes, Sir, I took one to Ted Nudges and he
was he's just a pog by this thing. I have units.
I've had these units out for years and they're they're
virtually maintenance free. I have had no problem. Now what
you let me to describe the mechanisms how it works?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, but you have to do it slowly?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
All right? Like how why each aspect of it is important?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Okay? First of all, use the timer, the West Texas timer,
and that's about That is the best timer on the market.
It draws his least amount of current of any timer
out there. Second law, I use a there's an air
compressor in here. It's a by Air air compressor. It's
(19:43):
on it's a fortune five hundred comany out of California,
and it's very reliable. It has a five hundred hour
run time.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
What if I want none to have all Texas parts?
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Uh? I don't know what said about that, Michael.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Can't we find something from Texas.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Uh. Yeah, we could go to Walmart and get some
of these parts. You could basically you could really build
this whole, this whole system beside the box out of Walmart.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I don't want to do that. I just call you.
Do you deliver and set them up?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
I can, yes, sir, that I can. If you well,
it depends on how many you buy, If you buy
more multiples of three or more. Oh, come, I'll be
glad to come and set them up for you. Then
a reasonable you know, as long as it's in a
reasonable distance, not from here to the yard.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
But what if that's the day you got to get
your haircut?
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Ah, just let it go. Okay, all right, okay, this
is this these things Michael. If you are you are
you familiar with what a potato gun could do? Ummm?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I mean not intimately, but I have an idea. It's
the same concept, right, Yes, this.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Is the same concept. I shoot my corn out of
the theater up anywhere from forty to fifty yards. Come
on now, yes, sir, yard.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
That's the two pounds. That's the two pound pack. You
got two pounds?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Hold hold on a second, then hold hold on, hold on,
just all right? We'll get to that. Well, shoot off
a potato gun. So I come back with a little
more knowledge. It's next second. The Michael Varies show continues
to use Knentton. Are you an ac DC fan?
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Am I what?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Ac DC fan?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Uh? Don't particularly care for it, but I'll listen to it.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
How about ac Delco?
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Yeah, so that'll work all right.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
So, so the idea behind this cannon feeder is that
the number one if you had to say, the number
one selling point is zero maintenance or zero work because
of the size and kind of self executing nature of it.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Yes, sir Michael, this theater shoots two pounds of corn
every time it shoots.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, Now explain this to me, like I'm six years old.
How does it gather a packet of corn to send
it out? What's the mechanism inside that's gathering that amount
of corn?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
It's strictly gravity fed. Did My hopper in the theater
goes to the all the way to the front, so
it's gravity fed. Every time it goes off, it fills
the barrel back up. I have a two by three
barrel in this on this theater. And when I say barrel,
(22:59):
it is it's just like a potato gun. Every time
it shoots, two pounds of corn goes back into the
barrel and it's ready to shoot again.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Now here's what I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
The barrel extends out of the.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Box, Yes, sir, nineteen inches.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
You're not filling up the barrel outside the box, No, sure,
only inside, yes, all right. And then it creates a seal,
and then that's with that seal, and the compression is
shooting it out, yes, sir.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
At the end of the barrel, there is an inch
and a half celinoid without that's connected to an air tank,
a two gallon air tank. So the compressor fills the
air tank up within oh about fifty eight seconds. It'll
fill it up to eighty five to ninety pounds. As
(23:57):
soon as it does, it activates illinoid valve industrial solinoid
valve and it fires and when it fires, it shoots
the corn out anywhere from forty to fifty yards at
eighty to ninety pounds. You can turn this feeder up higher.
I don't recommend it just for safety reasons. Michael, are
(24:23):
you Are you familiar with what a potato gun could do?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Is that the reason why?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
No? No? For I put all three of my boys
in front of the cannon feeder and shot it and
it didn't hurt any of any one of them.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
So did you have to talk them into that or
did they? Did? They willingly agree because I had.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Whether that does? And two? Okay, but no, it will
not hurt you. Now, if you're looking down the barrel
and it goes off, it would it would probably pay
for you pretty good.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Do you have a particular brand of corn you use?
Speaker 5 (25:11):
No? Sure, no, sure, But you can fill this feeder
up with six hundred and fifty pounds of corn. Shoot
two pounds a day or four pounds a day, two feedings,
one in the morning, one in the afternoon. It will
last you approximately one hundred and sixty three days.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Approximately one hundred and sixty three days. Yes, sir, that's
very specific, didn't yes, sir? So twice so you got
to go out twice a year and refill this thing.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
So will let go back out twice a year. You're
refilling the corn and then you're what else the solar panel?
What like? What other do we have it?
Speaker 5 (25:54):
We have a twenty watt solar panel on it. Yeah,
we have a charger control, solar charger control for our
battery to maintain it correctly. Just not hooking up a
solar panel to a battery like most feeders do. We
have a solar charger control so it's not overcharging or undercharger.
(26:18):
It's just a straight twelve volt battery eighteen half hours.
What I use. It's the simplest feeder on the market.
You set your timer for one second. All your timer
is doing when it comes on, it's shitting, say seven
(26:41):
o'clock in the morning. You set it for one second.
It tells the compressor to come on. The compressor fills
the air tank up to wherever you have to found
it set at.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
How broadened is the area that the corn is being
dispensed across?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Okay, we'll shoot it out anywhere from forty to fifty
yards sixty foot area.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
How come you use yards for the distance it shoots it,
but foot for the distance of dis covers it did.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
We were with Duck Dynasty and Austin Buck Commanders in Austin,
Texas and we were shooting it in a parking lot
and we had to take measures that we were measured with.
That's just what we came up with. Well, it is
a great aquatic feed.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
But when you measured the distance that shot the corn
and you look down, what did it measure the distance.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
At the in between east kernel?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
No, the distance from where from the barrel to where
it landed like a shot.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Put about fifty yards.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
So it measured it in yards. Okay, you measure where
the first corn hit and where the furthest corn had gone.
What did it measure there?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
We did. We didn't measure that, but you said measure that.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You said that was about twenty feet or twenty foot? No,
because that would be the spread right right.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
The spread is sixty feet in the distance is forty
to fifty yards.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
How many did you have on your property?
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Oh? One, two through four right now?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
How many do you have in the proto? Yeah? How
many you have in the warehouse right now?
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Ooh, we got some probably fifteen. We have ten more
being built. We're going to MacAllen to a show in
MacAllen in a couple of weeks. Who is we My
wife and I and Lukeleisner my cousin.
Speaker 1 (29:01):

You bet?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
All right? Hold on? Do you have questions? For mom.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Michael, are you are you familiar with what a potato
gun could do?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
You know, no offense to Hannity or even rush, my
friend Mark Levin, Michael Savage. How many people have that
question asked of this?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Michael, are you? Are you familiar with what a potato
gun could do? Not?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Everybody gets asked that question every day on radio
