I am working on a feeder design that will allow a hunter to set the open and close times so that deer will only have access to feed when you have the feeder progamed to allow it. We have been using corn and liquid molassess from the feed store and it has dramatically increased the antler size of our deer this year, but the deer have had 24/7 access to the feed. I do not hunt on the food plots or in sight of this feeder but think having it timed may keep some of the deer in closer and slightly alter their movement times in that area. Would this design be something any of you would be interested in? It would use a small car battery, an electric actuator, plastic half barrel and a aluminum lid. Definately not bear proof, but we do not have them or hogs here, yet...
