thanks, how does the mechanism work? like a rolling block or slide or swing?

Questions not a review

I’m having a hard time seeing how you are benefiting your deer herd by limiting the amount of protein feed you are feeding. Everything I have ever read says this is a 3 year investment before you will start to see the benefits of feeding protein. So if you limit there feed intake what are your expectations and when do you expect to see results assuming your hoping to see improvements.

Just finished our first year feeding L&E Jan. - Sept. and didn’t notice any change in antlers did see a change in the body condition but we had better range conditions last year so it’s hard to say that was a result in feeding protein. It does look like feeding has helped with recruitment, saw several bucks at the protein feeders that we hadn’t seen in the past.

I purchased and deployed a 500lb Lamco Trough feeder last June. My #1 problem is rain. A few weeks after putting it out, we went on a 2 week vacation and it rained a good bit while we were gone. When I made it out to the lease on return, you wouldn't believe the stinking, worm invested mess I had to clean up. A rain sensor would help, don't know that it solves the problem.

It is a very nice unit no doubt, but a rainy season will be a major pain in the azz to manage with it. I'm either going to cut-out the bottom portion of the trough and replace with a screen/mesh or sell it. I have it turned off right now.

Dave, the SMS cell control thing would be awesome to add. Can you post some specifics on how to add that?

Thanks!
