Does anyone have experience with the gravity style trough feeders? Any input would be appreciated.
Thank ya'll for the input. We have several homemade troughs. Researching something like this Double D. Very expensive so hoping someone can give advice.
I have found the the problem with any gravity feeder and protein is that the protein gets wet due to condensation in the feeder and then clumps up in the tube and blocks the feed. It seems I am constantly unclogging gravity feeder tubes. When feeded protein I am trough feeder only.
Mine didn’t last long enough to get wet. This was the first year I had does and fawns feeding out of it too. But this is also the year I switched from corn to buck muscle. That stuff smells like a fresh cut alfalfa field.
I have found that the majority of my protein feed goes out to the does and fawns. That also being said, I can't seem to find anywhere that sells Buck Muscle in or around the central to southern part of the state[/QUOTE
shdw633 ...Big Creek feed off of exit 149 (I-75 )in Byron carries Buck Muscle ...just bought some there last weekend. Everyone else was out of pellets but they had it in stock. The Texas Barrel feeder that Triple C mentioned is a great feeder , I have never had a problem with the pellets clogging and the deer wear it out.
