Putting out feeders

The boys and I went out to Momma's place this afternoon. We hung the feeder and the game camera. It'll be interesting to see what gets in the viewfinder. I'll check it in a week and see if we're getting any traffic.

The feeder I use at Momma's house is the Moultrie 5-gallon hanging feeder. We bought several of them for the deer lease and they've proven to be durable little feeders. They don't hold a lot of feed, but if you set them for a 4-second spin time, there is enough feed in the hopper to last several weeks. It runs on four AA batteries and in our experience if you use good batteries, like Duracell or Ever-ready Energizer, they'll last the whole season. It's a simple little collapsible feeder that takes very little space on the 4-wheeler.



Moultrie has them listed at an MSRP of $69.99, buy they're found at a discount lots of places. I see that Simmons has them for $14.99, which is a heck of a discount. You can get the solar powered version for only $5.00 more. That's probably the best deal in feeders today. The only drawback is that they're hanging feeders, but a frugal outdoorman could make a work-around that would let you put them anywhere.

Heck, I might buy a couple more to keep in the attic. Seriously, these are great little feeders.
