Feeder installation

Here are some tips to guarantee your success.

Install the feeder on rich, large and vacant territory.

Installation of the feeder on your site

Place the front of the feeder towards the South in a shade free location.

We recommend that you strengthen and secure your feeder.

Place the feeder on the ground and push up against a tree of 5 inches or more in diameter. Screw a minimum of 3 screws.

Anchor to the ground and screw the 2 posts provided on each side of the feeder. Screw them with a minimum of 3 screws each in the holes made for that purpose.

Use a lock and steel cable and insert the cable at the back of the feeder by passing it through the 2 openings and around the tree.

We suggest that you store the lock of the padlock inside the feeder.

Install a surveillance camera (photo mode) near the feeder. If you have a 2nd camera, install farther away in order to have a better view when the animal, intruders arrive.

Close the access to the road or trail leading to your site by installing a locked fence and signs indicating your presence.

Filling the feeder
