I’ve got one that is turned almost completely off the feeder. Don’t have a pic of what did it though
Had a feeder quit throwing so started to load up the 4 wheeler to investigate. Flat tire so loaded up the three wheeler. 3/4 mile of mudding across a wheat field. Found either battery or solar panel is bad. Good solar panel in the shop and I’ll pick up a battery at a store before heading back over. The drum is completely full.
I’ve had one particular little spike ”spin” my north cell camera 3 times since November.
You can fix that problem in the next 7 days...I’ve had one particular little spike ”spin” my north cell camera 3 times since November.

Nah, I’m done, and he’ll probably grow out of his adolescent curiosity by next year. I’m hoping he’ll be a booner target in about 5 years.
I've got several pictures lately of younger bucks sparring as well.
Here are two from my weekend card pull. The first, it looks like one of my big guys made it through season. He should be really nice next year. Second is a buck fight which is typically no big deal. Yet, this one involves three at once. Not sure I have ever seen that before and I have about five or six pictures of them doing this, stopping and restarting.

Boys will be boys!!!
Got a little snow up on the river last night.
So, I go to one of the farms last week. Cam shows the feeder isn't throwing.
Full drum of corn.
The controller showed a low battery even though there is a solar panel that is about 10 years old.
Tried to do a manual throw with the motor barely turning.
Battery has been in the feeder for about 5 years. Gotta be the issue. Ordered one, went over today to change out with the proper testing equipment.
Battery fully charged, solar panel working correctly, and tested the voltage going into the motor with a test run.
Bad motor. The only thing that wasn't brought along.
So, another trip to fix that shortly. I have a couple of unused feeder motors in the shop. Need to get that drum to feed. The corn will turn into a black goo if left in there.
