What the maker and reviewers highlight
- Directional 30-degree throw is meant for a sendero, road, trail or pond instead of scattering feed in a full circle (Moultrie) [source]
- Holds up to 200 pounds of corn in a 6-foot hopper you can fill from the ground (Moultrie) [source]
- Digital timer for up to 10 feed times a day, plus a solar accessory port (Moultrie) [source]
Things to weigh
- The 6-volt battery is sold separately, and a solar panel is an extra purchase (Moultrie) [source]
- We did not find a detailed independent long-term test of this exact Quick-Lock directional tripod model
- Any tripod feeder can be pushed around by hogs or livestock if it is not protected; that is a general feeder issue, not a tested flaw of this model
Who it's for in Texas
A common-size automatic feeder for Texas private deer country, including along a sendero or into a stock tank. Check current Texas Parks and Wildlife rules for baiting in your county and season before you put feed out.
My take: coming soon
We have not tested this one ourselves yet. If I get it in the field, my notes will go here. No rating is given.
