Free Choice Supplemental Protein Pellet / Corn Feeder
South Texas Tripods & Feeders, Inc. 400# capacity Free Choice Supplemental Protein / Corn Feeder offers wildlife management a reliable, trouble-free system to dispense pellets with a minimum of feed loss. With its exclusive 10" perforated feed distribution plate, this design allows rain to drop through the plate more quickly without it wicking up the funnel spout, thereby clogging the feeder.
The feeder is a raccoon and feral hog resistant with the 6'6" legs that place the feed plate approximately 38" off the ground. (Research completed by Texas A&M University Kingsville and reported in the Caesar Klieburg Wildlife Research Institute annual report 1994-95 pg. 33). Then, with the optional PVC leg guards, rodents can also be prevented from climbing the legs.
Supporting Research
A more recent research project at CKWRI by Marc Bartoskewitz found that mature bucks benefit greatly from high-protein supplement feeding programs. He reported the highest deer use when feeder densities were _> 1 feeder to every 400 acres. This nutrition solution system allows deer to eat the large quantities of high protein nutrients necessary to develop into trophy-class animals.
