Choosing feeders and attractants
Feeders and attractants are the dispensers, timers, and bait products used to feed or attract game to a set location.
Feeders and attractants are the dispensers, timers, and bait products used to feed or attract game to a set location. What’s a normal feeder setup in one state can be flatly illegal in another. Check local regulations before you check the feature list.
The short answer
Feeders and attractants are regulated more than most gear here
Species label and intended use
Species label guides intended use; a feeder or attractant built for one species may not dispense correctly, or legally, for another.
Capacity and refill interval
Capacity sets how often you’ll need to refill. Plan trips around that interval rather than guessing.
Power source and timer
Power source and timer govern operation; a dead battery or a misprogrammed timer means a feeder that isn’t doing its job when you need it to.
Local regulations on feeding or baiting
Local regulations may prohibit feeding or baiting entirely in some areas or seasons. This is one of the first things to confirm, not the last.

The current catalog includes 134 feeders and attractants from 9 brands. Nearly every listing gives power and timer details.
