I would like to build a feeder that opens in the morning and closes just before dark to force the deer to feed during daylight hours. I can build the box to hold the feed and a door hooked up to a motor that will open and close. What I need is a timer that will work with my 12Volt motor. Does anyone have any suggestions?
i saw that feeder by evolved habitat but it was pricey im not sure how you can do it but i have had that idea for several yrs now i just never did it...pm me when you find out and id like to see a drawing or how you made it if possible

My only concern is that the motor must turn one way to open and reverse to close. I'm not sure if I can find a timer that will do that. As for hunting their natural food source, the area I hunt is completely surrounded by private land. All the land owners feed the deer. Without feeders, the deer don't even cross the property. I believe in fair chase, that's why I only Bow hunt but If I can't see them, I'll never shoot one.
