Choosing feeders and attractants

Check feeding rules for your area before comparing species, capacity, timer, or power.

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

Check local feeding and baiting rules before choosing a feeder or attractant for a species.

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.
