#BOSS BUCK GRAVITY FEEDER 200LB ALL STORES PRO#
The Moultrie Pro Magnum Tripod is a reliable feeder. we feel the latter offers great value for the money especially considering its price.įor the number two spot, we picked the Moultrie Pro Magnum Tripod Deer Feeder…. What Do The Numbers On Binoculars Mean?įor our top pick, we went with the One and Done Game Feeder – Built to Last – Loads 130lbs….I won't buy another one for me, but I wouldn't tell you not to buy one, as they work well for a lot of people. I moved mine a lot, never found that spot deer would avoid going near it, even a year after placement. He told me he had to find the right spot, usually at the junction of hardwoods & pines, for them to take to it well. One of the members on here has a number of them on his place in Macon Co. The space around the cone is probably an inch or more wide, so one chuck of cob wouldn't plug it up, it would flow around the obstruction & into the feed tubes. It doesn't clog, & the feed doesn't have any place to get stuck in it. Ben Koerth suggested hanging a spin cast feeder next to it to get the deer started using it. That is what I planned to do with mine if my buddy doesn't want to keep it. Mine currently is loaned out to a friend who wanted to try it before he bought one I would suggest if you have hogs to run a low fence around it like with a tripod, to keep the swine away. They have made some modifications to the lid design since I bought mine, though. I have had problems with feed (corn or pellets) molding inside it in summer. In another county, deer began using it within a week, but stopped as soon as the hogs took it over. I have never gotten very good deer usage with mine on one property, they won't go to it, no matter where I moved it, & wrens nested in the tubes (in a place where they are used to using trough feeders). Once they take the feeder over & pee all under it, the deer usually will stop using it altogether, even if the hogs are not present at the time the deer visits. Little pigs crowd under the big one & eat the feed off the ground as momma shakes it out. Hogs stand & bump their nose against the end of the tube, shaking out the feed, until the hopper is empty. Hogs will dominate a BB feeder & just a medium sized hog (150-200 #) is big enough to reach the tubes. The 600 may have more distance from the leg to the tube, because the hopper is bigger. I put them on top of the tubes as well you could see the scratches in the plastic where the coons would hang on. You will need to use spike strips on the legs of the one like I have. I can't speak to the 600 as far as coons, but they certainly can reach the tubes on the 350 pound model. $ 600.00 is a significant investment for a feeder and I'd like to know if I should expect any problems.
I would like to hear from anyone who has used Boss Buck feeders in Georgia. He also says the coons can't climb the legs and reach the tubes because of the spread distance between the tubes and the legs. The Dr Kroll videos claim that coons and hogs can't reach the feed tubes on his feeder if its installed so the tubes are 40-42 inches high.
Of course coons have no problem getting in the trough and I have pictures of as many as 10 coons in the trough at one time. The trough is 35" high and the hogs are standing on their hind legs and eating out of the trough. I'm now using a trough and have a big coon and hog problem.
Does anyone have experience with this feeder in Georgia ? Does it get condensation in it in Georgia's high humidity? Does it get clogged with small chunks of corn cob like you find in most 50 lb sacks of feed corn? Do you have problems with coons? Do you have problems with hogs? I'm going to feed shelled corn or a protein pellet corn mixture. I'm going to buy the Jim Kroll Signature Boss Buck 600 lb gravity feeder.
