Deer Feeders

[tattie]

Evening All,
I am wondering if anybody of the keepering/Stalking profession have ever come across manufactured feeders for deer, something that can be shifted about relatively easily.

I have had some information from a friend regarding constructing a timber feeder but just wondered if there were any manufactured items about?



Thanks in advance.

Cheers

What are you wanting to feed? I mean what sort of food not what sort of deer

I've only ever seen sheep troughs used in deer parks for nuts, sometimes hay from cattle jobs, the off the ground types. Nothing deer specific though.

These pipe feeders are very easy to use,and not much waste once they start using them.Bruised barley and some flaked maize through it and plenty using them just now.Also made some of old 25l drums.

They seem to manage well enough on pheasant feeders with spirals and just wheat

Yep but don’t make them free standing!

Evening lads,

I should of given more information.

It will be hay and silage that will be in the feeders for reds and roe.

Not in Britain but southern Germany but the location shouldn't really matter, there are boar about also so it will need to be robust.

Excellent! All the more reason to make sure they are firmly attached to a large tree, pylon etc. Will they not eat wheat? If so you would be amazed how long spring feeders can stretch - once!

And spend the rest of the winter cutting bucks with tangled antlers free.
