Default RE: Whos got Game Feeders???

I have the Game Country feeder. It is 16 gallons and fits 100 pounds of corn. Really nice unit. The key is putting it high enough and out on a branch so the bears don' t knock the legs to get the corn out. Twice a day for about 6 seconds lasts probably 5 weeks unless the bears get to it.

Two suggestions:

1) GET ONE THAT HAS A DAYLIGHT SENSOR! That way, it will throw out corn just after dawn and maybe an hour before dark.

2) Get a 55 gallon one if it is in a place you don' t visit much, so it will last much longer. The lantern batteries will last several months in one of those units. You' ll need a winch/pulley type system, but don' t have to visit the property just to put more corn in the feeder.
