Deer Feeder eBook


Deer feeders are an important asset of anyone who feed deer and cares about the health of the wild game in the backyard or area. There are many deer feeders on the market and depending on the need and season a gravity, tripod, digital and/or hanging feeder will help to accomplish the task to help the wildlife in the area to get the necessary nourishment. feeding the deer herds with nutritrinal food the deer would otherwise not find during the winter months. This keeps the deer healthier and better able to survive when normal food sources are scarce in the forest.

Game Feeders Versatile Use


This use of game feeders is beneficial to all species of wildlife as not just deer stop by for a meal. Small game and birds also feast on the food the feeders toss out. One of the things I have noticed is how many different species of birds quickly learn they can have a free dinner at a game feeder. I have seen birds I would be very lucky to see if I were walking through the woods. It is nice to know so many different species of wildlife have a much higher survival rate when people use game feeders.

Discovering The Benefits Of Using Game Feeders


Game Feeders
Wildlife watchers and hunters have discovered the many reasons for using game feeders for good reason. Using these modern feeders allows everyone from wildlife photographers to hunters the ability to see much more wildlife than would normally be the case without using a game feeder. These modern game feeder systems have been a big hit not only with homeowners who want to observe deer and other game from the comfort of their homes as the wildlife comes into the backyards for a free meal, people who take pictures of wildlife for a living have discovered how well wildlife responds to game feeders. This allows the photographer to get up close shots they would be very lucky to shoot if simply walking through the forest. But hunters are the ones who have pushed the development and wide use of game feeding development. Contrary to what many non-hunting people may think, deer hunters are responsible for the population explosion of deer herds due to paying fees for the right to hunt deer,

Hanging Feeders
Hanging feeders are widely used by people who live where the only praticle way to use a feeder is by hanging it from ropes or cables. This type of feeder works great for steep, hilly locations, and heavily wooded terrain. Hanging game feeders are lightweight for easy transport to these tough locations and come with most of the same features larger tripod feeders have. A friend uses his hanging feeder suspended over a very steep logging road the deer like to use to reach a stream for water.

Gravity Feeders
Gravity feeders use the natural force of gavity to dispense feed. These are great choices for level ground, can be adjusted for optimal height depending on the species of wildlife you want to feed, and are very reliable. For example,

if it is deer you want to provide supplemental food to the feeder plate the feed drops onto can be set at a level so fawns to large bucks will have no problem eating off the plate. As they eat more food drop from the hopper so there is a constant supply of feed. The top of the hopper is at eye level so refilling with feed is easy and depending on what size you use the larger units can hold several hunderd pounds of feed so there is no need to check the feeder everyday.

Deer hunters are hooked on the digital spin feeders


Deer Hunting With Deer Feeders
As a Whitetail deer hunter with four decades of experience I have been amazed at the new technologies developed for deer hunting over the last ten to twenty years. Long gone are the old fashioned deer drives and sitting in one location all day hoping to spot a trophy buck. From the tremendous growth of specialized deer attractents, scent blocking clothing and sprays, to the use of camo bow, rifles, and clothing todays deer hunter has never had it so good. Include the health of the deer herds in this. The state I live in is well known for the huge population of deer and has very liberal harvest limits for the Whitetail deer. As many as eight deer can be harvested by a single hunter using a combination of bow, rifle, and muzzle loader guns as long as the hunter has purchased the proper tags.

Ground Game Feeders


Ground game feeders are possibly the best choice if you are feeding deer but losing a lot of feed to raccoons, wild pigs, or other animals. These pesky raiders cannot get to the feed due to the rugged design and feed is only dispensed according to the timer settings you select. These are also called capsule feeders and they are very easy to fill, relocate, and can be used on all but the steepest terrain. They can also hold up to 500 pounds of feed so refills are far apart.

Digital Game Feeders


Digital game feeders use state of the art electronics for the owner to set how much feed to dispense, how many times a day to dispense the feed, and can be set to spread large to small feed. The electronics are housed in waterproof housings for long life, are very easy to use, and operate with a small battery. Very easy to use and cut your overall feed expense.

Digital Spin Feeders


One of the top deer hunting aids I have used and come to love is digital spin feeders. I was sold on this type of deer feeder by a friend of mine who has used one for several years. At first I was skepticle when he made claims about how the deer had actually "learned" the times the digital spin feeders would spin out a load of goodies. The deer would start showing up shortly before the feeder was due to operate and mill around until the special deer food began to come flying out. I had to see this for myself, so we hiked in to where the feeder is located and set up in a stand of brush to see what happened. The time of year was a few weeks before opening day of the bow hunting season so we had great cover. Everything was full of the late summer greenery so I showed up wearing shorts and a tee shirt. He tool one look at me and said there was no way I was going into his prime deer hunting turf wearing this. I thought we would be off at a distance watch the deer with spoting scopes.Not to be. I had to return home and change into camo deer hunting clothing and apply scent blocker before he agreed to take me in. I returned looking like it was the opening day of the season and off we went. His reason for this were actually very sound. The last thing he wanted was to spook the deer from coming

Tripod Game Feeders


The tripod game feeders are the most widely used because they basically offer all the benefits of the above mentioned feeders with the exception of hanging feeders. Large hoppers for holding hundreds of pounds of feed, completely digital LED electronics for monitoring feeding times and how much feed to spread, cannot be broken into by animals you do not want to eat the feed, are easy to breakdown and relocate, and are constructed from very durable materials so they will last for many years. And they are priced very competively compared to the other types of game feeders. deerfeeder.org/game-feeders

into the feeder. Now, I need to speak of something both he and I feel vary strongly about. Harvesting deer while they are at a feeder. This is illegal in most states, and more importantly, at least in my eyes, it is very unethical. Proper use of a digital spin feeder for deer is to locate the trails they are likmely to use coming into feed and set-up a tree stand or ground blind. And this should be several hundred yards away from the feeder. Shoot a deer over a feeder while other deer are there and they will avoid the feeder like the plague, and as I mentioned this is just not proper deer hunting morally.

away the best fit for most all situations. I can think of only one time the Moultrie tripod feeders I use proved to be unsuitable. The situation was when I had put up a climbing tree stand for the opening day of Whitetail deer archery season. I was new to the sport of hunting deer with a compound bow so in my novice approach I hung my tree stand in a tree on a steep hill side over looking the tripod feeder about fifty yards away. The spot I selected for my tree stand was above one of the main trails the deer used to get to the tripod feeder. Why this turned out to be a poor choice really had nothing to do with the feeder but more to do with my inexperience at shooting the compound bow at a steep downhill angle. I did get a shot off but due to the angle I shot well over the top of the buck. I have since learned about how to take these types of downhill and uphill angles into my calculations before releasing the arrow. The reason so many hunters use Moultrie tripod feeders is because of the wide range of features these deer feeders come with. They are well made, reliable, keep expensive deer feed dry, are perfect for use in large or small fields or any spot where there is a small patch of level ground, they are very easy to use, and if the hunter wants to move the feeder it is simple to break down and relocate as the feeders are very lightweight. Moultrie has by far the best line of deer feeders in the tripod configuration to fit any possible hunting senario as wekll as very competitive prices. My favorite deer feeder is without a doubt the Moultrie Pro Hunter 30 gallon tripod game feeder. This feeder just lasts forever and with a hopper that holds 200 pounds of many different types of food for deer, turkey, birds, small animals and even elk or moose, it has the built in flexability to meet every hunting situation. Built of strong materials this is a wildlife feeder you can count on to perform flawlessly for many years. For those who are using the QDM (Quality Deer Management) methods of raising healthy deer herds with trophy bucks the Moultrie Pro Hunter 30 Gallon Tripod Game Feeder is used more than any other brand of deer feeder on the market. Practicing QDM requires reliable equipment that is going to perform day in and day out without constant daily attention. The 30 gallon capacity combines with the ability to dispense

American Hunter FeederMax


As the deer began to show up my friend explained to me some of the features of this feeder. It is one of the American Hunter FeederMax Digital Spin Feeders with a 1000 pound capacity. He explained how he really likes the fact he can fill the feeder with up to 1000 pounds of corn or special deer feed, set the digital timer, and not have to disturb the area again for up to two weeks, depending on how often the unit is set to spread feed. This is important because nothing will spook deer faster than your scent in the area every day. The unit has four stable legs, is made of galvanized metal to ward off rust, will spread the deer food of your choice cmpletely around the feeder, and can be used year round to feed not only the local deer herd but Turkey, and other wildlife. I was so impressed with what I witnessed that day I bought one. Only I went with American Hunter FeederMax Digital Spin Feeders with the 2000 pound capacity. I love it! I harvest more deer, see other wildlife, and my hunting is a lot more enjoyable. deerfeeder.org/american-hunter-feedermax/

Why Many Hunters And Deer Feeders Select A MoultrieTripod Feeder


Tripod Feeders
With so many different types of wild game feeders on the market why do the vast majority of many people choose a tripod feeder over the other types? Most likely they have used one or more of the other versions of feeding systems and did not like how the units worked.

Moultrie Tripod Feeder


It has been my experience after many years of using various wildlife feeding systems the tripod feeder design is far and

feed up to six times a day are features that set the Moultrie brand above most others. Dependable LED digital precision timers and tough hoppers for holding enough deer food for up to at least four months are what QDM enthusiasts look for in a feeding system. Combine all these great features with the fact the tripod legs are made of Slik carbon fiber material for strength, lightweight, and as a barrier to small amimals that would otherwise climb up the legs and eat all the feed, and I honestly cannot think of a better tripod feeder system I would even consider purchasing. The price is very fair for all you get and from the many reviews of this game feeder I read before making my purchase I am not the only one who loves these units. Of course there are other tripod deer feeders on the market but none that offer as many features for the price as the Moultrie Pro Hunter 30 Gallon Tripod Game Feeder. One other thing I almost did not mention is the long life you get out of the battery with the Moultrie feeder. Most other brands use up batteries quickly but not the Moultrie. It is not unusal to get up to 4-6 months use from one battery. Therefore, the choice of which tripod feeder to buy is an easy choice for me. deerfeeder.org/game-feeders

handed down to you by your father, and heading out into the great outdoors in pursuit of an elusive trophy Whitetail buck are becoming harder and harder. The prospect of climbing up and down hills in snow, sleet, and rain all day long just do not hold the appeal of days gone by. So what are we older geezers to do? We still want to deer hunt, just not at the same level of physical activity as a twenty year old. I might just have the answer for you.

Capsule Game Feeder The Feeder For Many Reasons


Try some of the great new products on the market specifically designed to aid us in our pursuit of the wily old Whitetail deer. One of these very useful new products is the capsule game feeder. I can only assume the producers of this deer feeder gave it the capsule name because it resembles the old style space capsules used by the first astronauts in space. I think it is a great choice plus it is a very functional design. Features include two capacities choices, a 500 pound feeder, and the larger 1,000 pound feeder. Why I would recommend this ground sitting deer feeder to older hunters and handicapped hunters is there is no need to climb a ladder to fill the unit with your choosen deer food. This is a huge plus when you consider how difficult it can be to lug fifty or one hundred pound bags of shelled corn or deer pellets up a ladder, balance the bags while opening them, and then trying to accurately pour the feed in the hopper without spilling feed or falling off the ladder. The capsule game feeder requires very little maintenance compared to many of the other feeders on the market. One reason is the unit uses a solar panel to generate the electricity for operating the powerful motor used to run a very unique auger system that raises the deer feed to the top where the motor then spins the dispensing wheel to spread as much or as little deer food as you desire. Very cool feature! Plus this handy deer feeder can be filled with food for other species of wildlife for those who are bird watchers or Turkey hunters. I can see where this compact feeder would go over very well with several of my neighbors who like to put out feed for the neighborhood squirrels. Just walk into the back

Deer Hunters Like Ground Level Feeders

yard, fill the unit up, and then enjoy many days of watching the local squirrels come to dinner. Constructed of ultra violet resistant plastic the rugged design also features a great ten year warranty and is priced very resonably. People who have already purchased the capsule game feeder have given this compact, feature laden unit rave reviews. To a person they all like the design, and low visual impact the feeder has on the environment it has been placed in. This is important not only for traditional deer hunters but also for those who buy the feeder for their back yards. Other positive comments include how easy the feeder is to refill without lifting the heavy bags of feed up ladders and also noted is the ability to set the timer on the unit to feed up to six times a day. This feature may not sound like a big deal, but if the feeder only came with the ability to spread feed once or twice a day much of the wildlife the individual wants to feed will miss out on a meal, as not all animals and birds are going to come in to feed at the same time of day or night. Other comments included how much feed the person was saving because with the ability to set the dispensal rate and time, only the animals the owners want to feed get the food. This is another big plus due to the ever increasing price of feed. http://deerfeeder.org/game-feeders/

or when seeking out food sources. All Whitetails, with the exception of the wisest trophy bucks who have survived a few hunting seasons, will normally behave this way. This is one reason the use of a game feeder used to draw in deer has become so popular. Look at it this way--if you had the choice of going out in the woods to forage for your dinner, or going to the local grocery store or fast food place and selecting your food without much effort, what choice are you going to make? Same priciple applies to deer. Once the local deer population learns there is this strange looking object sitting on their home turf that magically tosses out corn and other tasty treats, they are going to quickly learn to be around when dinner is served. And deer hunters are using this learned behavior to their advantage. I harvested a very nice trophy Whitetail buck two seasons ago using this very strategy. My capsule game feeder had been located in a spot where I observed deer leaving their day time bedding areas and moving along a ridge to a stand of oak trees to feed on acorns. I placed the game feeder about half a mile from the bedding spot along one of the trails they would use and then set up my tree stand several hundred yards away from the feeder. You might be wondering why I did not just place my tree stand close to the feeder for a certain, close range shot. Two reasons. First, this is illegal and secondly, this is very unethical and not very sporting is it? Use a game feeder only to put you in a position to see more deer and then study their travel patters to and from the feeder. Never set up and shoot a deer while they are actually at the feeder as this is no different than shooting a cow in a barn. Use a game feeder only as a tool to increase your chances to see more deer and hopefully harvest one. This particular day was calm with temperatures on the low forties. The rut was in full swing so I had high hopes of seeing many deer and possibly one of the stud trophy bucks I knew were in the area. As this was private land I was confident the big bucks would not be overly cautious due to hunting pressure so I got comgotable in my tree stand and waited for the action to begine.

Using A Game Feeder I Harvested A Trophy Buck


Game Feeders For Easy Use
I am sold on the use of game feeders to being in big game animals. Specifically, the elusive Whitetail deer I spend my free hunting time pursuing. These new ground level capsule game feeder units are so easy to load, move to new locations, and reliable I cannot ever see myself hunting deer without the aide of one. Whitetail deer are natuarally curious animals as I have learned over many years of hunting them. they are also lazy. By this I mean they are going to always choose the path of least resistance whether it be the terrain the deer walks

Through my rifle scope I could make out a few does at the game feederbut they were constantly looking back into the heavy woods and acting very attentive. This is a clear indication a dominate buck or two is close by and all a rutting buck has on his mind is love. These older bucks with large racks did not become this way by being stupid so as I waiting for the scene to unfold I was silently hoping the desire to chase the does would over-come the bucks natural wariness. Daylight was quickly fading when the big boy finally stepped out with his nose down and snorting he came into the capsule game feeder. The doe's scattered, and two began to trot in my direction with this love struck ten point not far behind them. It was going to come down to time and distance if I could get off a shot. The sun was dipping lower and the buck was still to far off for a clean shot. As luck would have it the does moved quickly towards my stand and I began to set-up for a possible shot. The range to mister ten point reached a distance where I felt comfortable making a clean shot and now he adorns my den wall as a reminder of how the game feeder came through again. deerfeeder.org/game-feeders/

feeders is to keep the local deer herd on the property so they do not wander off to greener pastures. Another reason for the popular use of deer feeders is to provide quality nutrition with minerals to the deer herd year round. This is vital for the bucks if you want them to grow large antlers and survive the winter after depleting much of their fat and energy during the rut/breeding season. During a long cold winter with large amounts of snow these bucks, as well as the does and younger deer, can perish due to a lack of a constant supply of good nutrition. Doe's also need a steady supply of quality food and minerals for successful reproduction. The deer feeders deliver this food in a reliable, low maintenance manner the deer become accustom to very quickly. For does to give birth to larger, healthier fawns and then nurse the fawns they need a steady supply of just the kind of foods deer feeders toss out.

Camouflage Clothing With Built In Scent Blocker A Necessity


Once the new hunting season has arrived the amount of equipment available to aid hunters in harvesting a deer has exploded in the last decade or two. Top on the list would have to be the fantastic camouflage clothing with built in scent blocker material. This camo clothing encompasses everything from the top of your head to the boots the hunter wears. I use camo clothing and can attest to how well it works. The selection covers all aspects of the conditions and type of terrain a deer hunter will be in. White camo patterns for those wintry days with snow, to lighter weight camo and patterns for the early season when the temperatures can be quite high and the forest is still green.

Using Deer Feeders And More For Deer Hunting


Fall Deer Hunting Season
With the arrival of spring many deer hunters are already looking forward to the opening of the fall deer hunting season. With the coming of a new season deer hunters begin to look forward to the many new products becoming available to aid them in harvesting that elusive trophy buck of their dreams. I am one of this large group of deer hunting enthusiasts who enjoys checking out all the new innovations.

The use of trail cameras has also become very popular as these specialized cameras instantly take a photo of any animal that happens to trigger the cameras activation features. Most deer hunters set these up on the trails leading to or actually at the deer feeders they are using as a way

to gage the number of deer in the area and if there are any trophy bucks roaming around. When trophy bucks are photographed by the trail cam this gives the hunter important information as to where a good location to set up a tree stand might be for an opportunity to harvest this buck. The use of climbing tree stands and ladder stands has continued to grow as these stands elevate the hunter to a height where their scent and movements are far less noticeable to deer. The use of a stand also greatly increases a hunter's ability to see a much larger section of forest giving them an early heads up when deer move into the area.

Many people who enjoy watching wildlife have begun to use one of the feeder systems available to easily and effortlessly feed everything from the Whitetail deer to wild turkey. I am also one of these people, and while I have owned and currently own several different types of wildlife feeders, the one brand of feeders I rate the best is the Moultrie line of wildlife feeders. I know several other people who have tried the other brands like myself and they eventually end up buying a Moultrie feeder. My favorite is the Moultrie Pro Hunter 30-gal. Breakdown Hopper Tripod Feeder. There are many advantages of using this particular brand of wildlife feeder and in particular the Moultrie Pro Hunter 30-gal. Breakdown Hopper Tripod Feeder. Below are a few of these features and advantages to selecting this feeder for the typical deer hunter and non-hunters who simply enjoy feeding wildlife. Photographers of wildlife, conservation agencies, and game keepers use Moultrie feeders because of the proven reliability, easy loading of the particular food they wish to use, and easy of breaking down the unit and moving it to another location with little effort. This particular feeder has so many great features it is a breeze to use and maintenance is minimal. It comes standard with a very reliable digital timer the owner can set to feed the local deer or other wildlife as often as six times a day. Depending on how the feeder is set-up you can spread a little food several times everyday so many different species of wildlife have a chance to enjoy the food. The feed can last as long a four months before a refill is needed if the feeder is set at one of the lower settings. Plus this allows the owner to choose the times of day they want to feed, be it morning, afternoon, or evening. This easy to do using the LED display every Moutlrie Pro Hunter 30-gal. Breakdown Hopper Tripod Feeder comes standard with. This is a feeder meant to be used in many locations due to the easy break-down and tranport of the components. Open field are ideal locatios as are creek bottoms, right inside tree lines, and on the first level spot below a ridge top. With the wide stance from the three lighweight but strong legs the unit does not take up much graound space. I have a friend who uses his Moultrie Pro Feeder next to a very thick stand of pine trees the local deer like to bed down in during snow storms. He knows as soon as the snow storm has past the deer will come out of the stand of trees and head right to the feeder for a tasty meal. For those of us who enjoy not only watching Whitetail deer but also hunting them, this is the kind of setup all deer hunters look for. The feeder is well built with a very durable plastic hopper that can hold up to 200 pounds of wildlife food from corn, to special nuggets for deer, to grains and seed for birds and smaller animals like squirrels. And speaking of these

Tree Stands To Observe


The climbing tree stands are designed to be easily carried like a backpack for those deer hunters who enjoy moving into areas of the forest where it is not easily accessible by vehicles or ATV's. The ladder type of stand tends to be a more permanent stand within easy walking distance. Either variation will help a deer hunter be more successful, and I currently use both types.

Archery Or Rifle Hunting


Now that we are all set with the proper camo, tree stand location, know the deer are in the area because of our trail camera pictures what type of weapon are we going to use? Well, this is going to be dictated by a couple of things. If it is the beginning of archery season then we can rule the use of a rifle out as they cannot be used until the rifle season comes in. If you are lucky enough to live in a state or province where cross bows are legal I would wholeheartedly recommend using one. They are very accurate and can have a scope mounted for better sighting, as well as easy to shoot compared to the compound bows. The cross bow design has the arrow already pulled back when set so the hunter does not need to draw as with a compound bow. This drawing movement of a compound bow has busted more hunters by deer because the deer see the movement unless the archer is very skilled. There is not this problem with the cross bow as it is more like simply lifting a rifle and pulling the trigger. The time to use a rifle is when your shots are going to be at longer rangers than either the cross bow or compound bow is capable of effectively reaching. My rule of thumb is for any shots under 35 to 40 yards I like the bows. Any distance longer than this is when the deer hunter needs therifle. deerfeeder.org

Advantages Of Using A Moultrie Tripod Feeder

resourceful little animals, you will not ever need to worry about the local squirrel population raiding the feeder and making off with all the feed. This is because the hopper holding the feed has a strong lid with latching system the squirrels cannot open or chew through. And even if the could they cannot climb up the tripod legs because they are designed to keep animals like squirrels from attacking the feed this way. The legs are to slick for the squirrels to get a grip on! The feeder has a metal spin plate for long life and no worry about it warping from the climate changes. In addition the plate has been designed to keep those windy days from blowing feed out thus saving you money on feed costs. This sturdy plate spins the food out as far as forty feet while using very little power from the battery. And the battery life is much longer with a Moultrie brand of feeder. This particular model can feed for as many as six months before the battery begins to lose power. This is much longer than other brands of feeders. With the reputation of Moultrie products as affordable, well made, reliable feeder systems, and the great features this feeder comes standard with, The Pro Hunter has to be a top choice for anyone considering buying the best in wildlife feeders. deerfeeder.org/game-feeders/

designs. For instance, some use digital systems while others use monologue systems. Generally, the cost of digital feeders is higher than the cost of monologue ones. Despite the operation mechanism, the size of the feeder also influences the overall cost. In essence, instead of a deer hunter roaming around the wilderness with a shot gun, a single deer feeder reverses the whole process. With a feeder you have the choice of determining the respective deer that you want. This privilege enables you to only catch the deer that will not only give you high quality venison but also the one that will bring you honour. Venison has become popular in eateries and is considered a healthy alternative to red meat like beef because,It contains less saturated fat.It is leaner than beef because it contains less fat.It contains more proteins than red beef.It contains fewer calories and is ideal for those who are losing weight or those that don't want to gain weight.

Benefits of using Deer Feeders


Feeders are durable and easy to maintain- Deer feeders are constructed to withstand hostile outdoor weather conditions. Mostly they are constructed with polished steel parts or tough plastics. Overall, they are specially made to withstand frost, UV rays, humidity and other unfavorable weather elements. Additionally, the feeders are easy to maintain because they rely on a gravity feeding mechanism. Some depend on a renewable power source like solar. They often don't require maintenance practices like repairs, oiling etc. They can be timed- Whether the feeders are digital or analogue they are easily programmed to release the feeds at certain intervals. Therefore, you do not have to keep on visiting the feeders during feeding time. Equally, the feeders can be programmed to only release the feeds at regular intervals throughout the day. With this scheduled feed release you can easily observe the deer as they feed and prevent feed wastage. You can attract other browsers other than deer- The feeders spread the feed material that can attract other big game animals like moose, elf e.t.c. With the feeder you can sample the type of game that you will trap. Additionally, providing wild animals with nutrients will ensure that they maintain healthy herds that will keep on multiplying and surviving. They are easy to set up- You do not have to possess special skills to set these feeders. They come with instruction manuals to help you in case you may get stuck when setting them up. Also, they mostly come with already assembled

Deer Feeders For Hassle Free Hunting


Deer Feeders Developed For Many Purposes
Deer feeders are specially designed to be the greatest asset a passionate deer hunter will always cherish. They come in different designs that carry different price tags. As a caring deer hunter you can either use the feeders to provide deer with additional nutrients or use them as baits. A deer is a special browser that is known for choosing carefully what it consumes. Due to this selective feeding habit you can easily attract the deer by setting up the feeders at strategic points. Additionally, the feeders are capable of holding large volumes of deer feeds and are also capable of being timed to release the feeds at a given time. However, before you decide to use the feeders you should be aware of the State's laws that govern wild game hunting. This is because it is illegal to use the feeders in some states. Also, there are different types of troughs that have different

parts. The only thing you are required to do is set the feeder by either hanging it or assembling its free-stand system. Chances of getting a big kill are very high- With a deer feeder you have the privilege of choosing the deer that will provide you with enough venison. This simply means that you will have a variety of visiting deer to choose from once you set up your feeder. Additionally, a feeder can even become a favorite spot for a certain herd of deer. Therefore, you can watch as a deer grows in size before you entrap it. You can easily choose the right deer that will boost your status among other deer hunters. This is due to the fact that deer feeder are usually set at a strategic point that enables you to assess the deer that frequent your feeder. deerfeeder.org/game-feeders/

contain excessive calories that are associated with excessive weight gaining.It is tender and hence easy to digest.It does not contain harmful fats that are linked to dangerous diseases like heart diseases and high blood pressure. Since a small portion contains more proteins than an equal chunk of red beef, venison becomes a natural supplement for those who want to gain extra muscles through workouts.

Benefits of having a Gravity Feeder


It relies on gravitational force- This natural occurring force aids in release of feeds by the feeder. All you have to do is to fill the feeder with a portion of feeds, time it, walk back home and leave the rest to gravitational force. Freestanding feeders use the mechanism of releasing the feeds in accordance to the pressure that is exerted by the feeding deer. That is, as the deer feed, more food is released to the feeding trough. Hanging feeders mostly rely on their timers to release the feeds. These timers allow the feeder to release a given amount of feeds on the feeding spot at a given time. Hunting is easy- Compared to other types of feeders, gravity deer feeders make hunting to be easy. This is chiefly because they do not obstruct the view of the feeding deer. In other words, you can aim at your kill from any vantage angle. In addition, those that are timed have a magical way of creating feeding reflexes in deer. That is, you can ambush the deer at any given time by knowing the exact time the deer will visit the trap. They can fit at any location- Unlike some homemade feeders like trough, gravity feeders can be placed at any location.

Most commercial hanging feeders are programmable and they have a system that releases feeds at set intervals. Hanging feeders are also an added advantage to the hunter. This is because they do not block the view of the deer or any other big game browsers like elf, bears etc. In other words, hunting is easier with these feeders because the animal is exposed without any blockages. Additionally, deer will most likely make the feeding point a favourite spot because the feeders offer a more natural-like feeding habitat.

Different States have different laws that address wild game hunting. For instance, some deer species may be illegal to catch. Equally, it may be illegal to set up the feeders.
