Lost my deer feeder to a flood this spring so I have to replace it. I had pure hell with the timer/battery lasting more than a a month at a time on the wild game innovations so I don't want to go that route again. Any ideas? Budget? |

Like I said, lost it to a flood and don't feel like loosing another $200. I was thinking about something like the redneck gravity because it's only $80. |

I've been impressed with my stand and fill from academy, I think it was around $200 though. I used a cheap plastic $100 tripod feeder for years inside a feed pen. Try driving some tposts or rebar into the ground and wiring the legs of the feeder to them to prevent being lost again or get a hanging feeder and hang it from a tree. I've seen guys do that quite a bit on uneven ground. |

Not to de-rail the thread but how do you keep raccoons from robbing it?
I have had a moultrie for several years(6+). My major issue is the coons stealing the feed. I have a cage built around the feeder head and have tried a shocker unit but still have tons of pics of the little bastards having a feeding party on the feeder. |

You pretty much just have to kill them all. I have cages around mine and have tried tack strips and they still break my motors off. I've heard of people using grease on the feeder legs or PVC pipes so the coons cant get a grip and climb up. |

I love my all seasons stand and fill. It a bit out of your budget but all Ive had to do is put corn in it.

One of my buddies goes through the same thing. We were joking about putting pontoons on one. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Corn is just about useless because all the acorns and with winter being mild, things are green all the way into December. |
