Banks deer bank feeder

[david c]

Anyone on here use the banks gravity feeder that sits on a 4/4 post ? I think it’s called the feed bank. Thinking about getting one and wanted your input if you are currently using one. Thanks

Thanks for the info. Where's the best place to get one. Best price I've seen is on sportsman guide

They are great. I think I got mine from sportsmans guide. Get a piece of pvc pipe for the 4x4 to creep critters off. We have zero problems.

My deer act like mine is grizzly bear. They are scared to death of it. Makes a great bird feeder though?

I started mine with corn and rack em up. the rack em up has a smell that they love. believe me coons can get to it, but can't stay up there long.

Are you just putting corn in it ?

I put a 5 gal bucket around my 4×4 post. I'll have to check that rackem up out

I never thought our deer would be eating so much out of them. What was interesting was that the does were more scared of it than the bucks to begin with

yeah, I don't think I have ever saw a doe eat out of mine either.

It takes a month or two but they will eventually get comfortable and start feeding out of them. When we first started with protein, we did a mix or corn and protein and then eventually went to protein only. They’ll go through about 300 pounds of protein in 3-4 weeks now.

we feed protein then add in corn and switch to all corn during hunting season
