Overview
Built for hunters who want to encourage daytime deer activity, this feeder is designed to open at dawn and close at dusk, with a programmable digital timer that lets you control when and how often the gull-wing doors operate. Its natural log appearance is intended to blend into the setting while giving deer an unobstructed place to feed. With capacity for up to 350 pounds of dry feed and weather-resistant construction, it is suited for set-it-and-manage-it use on hunting property where reducing nighttime feed loss matters. It also helps keep squirrels, raccoons, birds, hogs, and other non-target animals out of the feed after dark.
