best affordable protein feeder

Looking to get a gravity protein feeder. Would like something under $500 that will last and function properly.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If you can make it to the Cleo area with a trailer, I'll give you one, 1000#. It was given to me. PM me.

Thats pretty affordable. Do you throw in sausage?

That's a nice offer Creekrunner!

if I were buying, I would strongly consider GreenGo ... GreenGo Dealer List

Couple o' PMs...then nothin'. No "Sorry I can't make it." No "Thanks, but I'd like something new." Just man up dammit! That's them internets!



'Don't make me no never-mind. I'll just use 'em. Offer rescinded.

will a 1000#er fit into the bed of a truck (long bed with tool box)? maybe laying it over with legs sticking out behind (over the tailgate)?

Just know if your worried about the price of the feeder the protein you feed in a year is gonna cost you a whole hell of a lot more.

Take a look at the Boss Buck line of feeders.

Agreed 100%. I like the ASF 500lb Stand & Fill, but that's going to cost you ~$200 to fill it up every time.

If cost is a factor, as it is for most that don't want to spend a few thousand per year on protein, get a timed All Seasons Protein Feeder. I use Protein as an attractant, not a supplemental feed program for my large free range hunting set up. I fill it for about 225-$250.00 and it lasts about 3 months. It kicks off at about 15-20 minutes after sun up after the coons have gone back to bed. I start in September and typically run it about 4 months. Dominant, bigger bucks find it when they really need it.

I feed corn year round, about a 3 second spin once per day, and then starting September I throw corn twice per day, 5 seconds and an additional spin about about 0830 for 3 seconds. Starting in September this program is about 600 lbs every 6-7 weeks.

Affordable and protein do not go together at all!
