Moultrie Fish & Deer 30-Gallon Quick-Lock Directional Tripod

The media could not be loaded. We have a small pond with a few catfish, bluegill, and a ton of minnows. We tried the cheap and easy way with something else…but it did not work how we wanted it to. I eventually purchased this feeder since we already had two Moultrie deer feeders, and we are not disappointed. The fishies love it too!***TIPS***•Place your feeder as close to the water, or as far in the water as you can. The food gets thrownt, but some does not go as far. So this will help make sure all food lands in the water.•This does not come with a battery. So make sure you have one or buy one before setting it up.•It takes a few “test runs” to get the food down into the chute. So don’t expect it to throw food on the first run.

This feeder is a joke. Won’t throw 3mm fish food 6 foot with a 12 amp battery. Wasting $90 fish food on a crappy feeder. Gets stuck in the algae 4 foot out. Better have a dock to put it on.

This feeder does not come with a Battery. Don’t cut corners and buy a cheap battery. Buy the Moultrie battery, it provides the correct mAh to dispense the feed. Other reviewers complaining that the feeder will not disperse the feed when filled completely full surely would had better results with s stronger battery.Feeder also does not come with Feet for legs. You will need these feet to prevent feeder legs from sinking into the ground.Thid is my second Moultrie feeder, and it have served me well. Based upon my experience, there are additional accessories the I needed to add.Moultrie Solar powered battery charging panel. It will not keep the battery charged, but it will certainly make it last longer.Moultrie battery charger. For when the battery runs down, you can charge it up fully inside your home.Moultrie Varmint Guard. The critters, specifically Raccoons, are relentless. They will chew through the discharge chute and anything else plastic they can find to get to the feed. This will keep them out.

Fairly easy to assemble. I mounted mine on a deck overlooking my pond. Had to get it pretty close to the edge for the food to stay off the deck, but still get a few pellets that don't hit the water. I'll probably have to install something under the feeder to get every pellet to go in the water. I only used half of the leg lengths or it would have been to high to put feed in it. I also installed screws at every joint to hold the legs together. I just bought a couple hardware brackets to mount the legs to the deck. The feeder doesn't come with mounting feet, or a battery. I did additionally buy and install a 6 volt solar panel that is made to go on the feeder.

We vacationed in FL from New England for a full month in our new RV this year, but felt awful about leaving our feathered friends without food in the winter. We bought this feeder just before we left, and couldn't be happier. We filled it with 50+ lbs of sunflower hearts, anchored the feet with cinder blocks and rebar to withstand the wind and set the timer for 2x per day. Upon our return the feeder was just about empty, but clearly did its job. We've refilled and adjusted the timer for spring feeding, but LOVE it ! The batteries we put in in January are still working in April, despite the cold. The directional feeding is great, since we have hawks in the area and prefer to keep the seed under the tree canopy. The sprayer doesn't spray far, but the birds and squirrels could care less. I highly recommend for this purpose. Would def buy again.

We purchased this to automatically feed our fish. We had hoped to be able to set it up and feed the fish daily. It has only worked for about three days without us having to make adjustments. We purchased 2 of their 6 volt batteries, their solar charger, and their battery charger. We still end up hand feeding the fish multiple times each week and cannot trust the feeder to actually work.

We ordered this back in July and it has only worked on its own once. Every time it’s done anything it has been empty and on test mode. You set the program for the number of feeds and how long to spin the motor for, leave, come back and no food has been thrown, none missing from feeder. Called customer support to try to warranty the item. They wanted us to jump through hoops we’ve been jumping through since the first time we noticed it wasn’t working. Do you have the right battery? Yes we had the correct battery. Did you read the instructions when setting up? Yes, read them every time I mess with the thing. Your product is subpar at best, lazy at worst. You did not design this product with the weight of the food bearing down on the spin plate in mind. I can pinch the middle post between two fingers and it doesn’t even twitch. If I could give this negative 10 stars I would. You do not stand behind your product, you do not support your customers. Products like this make Amazon look bad

This has proven to be a great tool for the health of the fish in our very large farm pond. We had to move the location because it was easy pickins for bear. The bear with some effort can knock it over and get into the fish food. So we decided that we would never be able to use it for deer corn. We have it out on a small dock in the lake and twice a day the water boils with fish.
