Stupid Game Feeder!!!

Hey guys.

I know this is not directly bowhunting related but i was hoping you could help me.

So i decided to purchase a deer feeder this season. I wanted to see how i liked it so i got a cheap remington model from wal-mart. The feeder came with an analoge timer and when i pressed the test button it would work fine and just how i wanted it to. However it would never go off at the set times!! I returned the timer and got another and had the same problem. I finally got the remington digital timer and hooked it up and once again it worked great! I let my friends grandfather hunt my spot this week and he says its not going off still!!!!

Now it has just gotten dark where i live and i will be going beck to check this thing after i post this. I am using a spring top 6 volt battery and am thinking that the feeder is draining this down or it is not providing the correct voltage? Im not sure but my next step is to get a gel cell battery and solar pannel and if that doesnt work im just going to throw this one out and get a moultrie like i should have in the first place. Its a shame to see a company like remington ruin my view of them just to make some more money on products they arent known for!!

Thanks again guys

we keep three feeder around our property for supplemental feeding during the early spring and very dry summers... we've been using them moultries for about 5 seasons so far with great success

 

I've have a remington and I have had no probs so far.

 

Scott, not related to your topic although it sounds like you have a lemon, do you have a NHRA car?

 

I do lol. I race a 68 Camaro in the summit bracket racing series and run NHRA Super street. I have raced Jr dragsters since i was eight years old. thats the reason i normally dont get much bow hunting in but this year i ended the season a little early and was able to have a ton of fun hunting so far!!

 

Awesome! I have a NHRA Super Stock car, 84 Cutlass with a 307. I am usually burned out on vacation because of racing. I've been to the Englishtown, NJ National Event a few times when my Dad was running his Stocker. Talk about hot and humid, it seemed like it was always a 100 degrees and 100% humidity. I think the best he did out there was runner up. We race out of Michigan, so it was always a long haul. I love bowhunting just as much, so I am always torn.
