I'm building a turkey feeder out of a barrel that will have an internal funnel that focuses the scratch grains in the middle. Next step is to cut some holes on the bottom sides for the turkey to stick its head in to get the feed. Looking online at what others have done holes are either diamond shaped, round or oval. I'm thinking of going for more of an ovalish cut but don't seen any resources for minimum hole size. I don't want it too big to avoid coon issues. I'm thinking maybe going 5" long and 4" wide. I can always cut or grind it bigger but don't want to start too big.
Any advice?
FYI the are the type of feeders I'm replicating
