Gravity Deer Feeders
Deer feeders, gravity feeders, timer feeders, and timed dispensers for corn and protein, built for hunters and landowners who'd rather hunt than babysit a feeder. Every feeder is assembled in Lamar, Missouri, by American workers.
Which deer feeder is right for you?
Feeding deer is one of those things that sounds simple until you've had a feeder quit on you mid-October. The three products above cover three different feeding styles. Here's how to pick.
For simple, set-and-forget feeding:
Our gravity deer feeders drop corn when the deer come in to eat. No batteries, no timers, no moving parts. The T-Post Gravity Deer Feeder mounts to any standard T-post in minutes, which makes it easy to move around the property.
The 750 lb Fiberglass Gravity Deer Feeder holds enough to keep a bigger herd fed through the heart of the season without constant refills, and the fiberglass body won't rust or dent.
For scheduled feeding with timer control
If you already have a feeder and just want timer control, the Programmable Timed Dispenser mounts to most barrels or hoppers and adds scheduled feeding to an existing setup.
Whatever your property looks like, there's a feeder here that fits. Everyone is assembled in Lamar, Missouri, by American workers, and backed by the same support you'd expect from the #1 deer blind brand in the country.
Protein Deer Feeders That Won't Clog
Protein pellets are the fastest way to grow healthier deer and bigger antlers, but they're hard on most feeders. Pellets are larger than corn, they bridge in narrow chutes, and they jam spinner motors. A gravity feeder sidesteps all of it. No motor, no spinner, no auger - just feed flowing down as deer eat.
Both of our feeders run protein pellets, corn, or mixed feed without modification. The T-Post Gravity Deer Feeder is the easy way to get protein in front of deer at multiple spots on your property, and the 750 lb Fiberglass Gravity Deer Feeder holds enough to feed a herd through the spring and summer antler-growing months when protein matters most.
One tip: skip salt-heavy feed blends in any feeder with metal hardware - salt corrodes components over time.
Frequently Asked Questions about Deer Feeders
-
A gravity feeder drops corn continuously as deer eat. There's no timer, no battery, no motor. It's the simplest way to keep feed available around the clock, and it works with corn, protein pellets, or mixed feeds.
A timed dispenser uses a timer set to specific times of day, which lets you condition deer to show up when you want them to.
Gravity wins for simplicity and zero maintenance. Timed dispensers win when you need control over when deer visit.
-
Depends on herd size and how much other food is on the property. A healthy whitetail eats 2-4 lbs of corn per day. If you're feeding 8-10 deer regularly, a full 750 lb feeder will last around 3-4 weeks.
-
Not directly. A gravity feeder is designed to let corn flow when deer eat, with no motor to time.
If you want timer control on a gravity-style setup, add the Programmable Timed Dispenser. It mounts to the bottom of a barrel or hopper and throws corn on a schedule, giving you the best of both designs.
-
Depends on how you're feeding. If you want protein available at several stations across the property, the T-Post Gravity Deer Feeder is the pick. It's quick to mount, easy to relocate, and cheap enough to run three or four at once.
If you're feeding one core area and don't want to haul bags every week, go with the 750 lb Fiberglass Gravity Deer Feeder. Fewer refills matter more with protein, since deer eat it most heavily through spring and summer, when you're not visiting the property as often.
Either way, deer that have never seen pellets can be slow to start. Mixing protein with corn for the first couple of weeks gets them on it faster.
-
A few rules that work in most setups. Put the feeder where deer already travel, not where you wish they would. Travel corridors between bedding cover and food sources are usually the best starting point.
Keep it 50-75 yards from your blind for most rifle hunters; closer for bow hunters, more like 30-40 yards. Set it on level ground so the corn dispenses evenly, and face it so the sun isn't baking it all afternoon or blinding your shooting lanes at prime time. We typically recommend giving deer 2-3 weeks to get used to a new feeder before you start hunting it, but some deer will be at the feeder the next day.
