tripod deer feeder

Listings describe these tripod gravity feeders as holding up to 200 pounds of feed. They’re intended for non-salt-based feeds such as corn and protein pellets; product details warn that salt-based mineral supplements can damage the feeder.

The listings describe roto-molded plastic barrels with galvanized metal hardware. Individual components may be metal or plastic depending on the model, but the common construction is a molded plastic hopper with corrosion-resistant metal fasteners.

These feeders include an adjustable 3-way inner sleeve (3-way flow control) that lets you increase or decrease feed flow to accommodate different shapes such as corn kernels and protein pellets.

The feeders use 10-inch feed ports set at a 10° angle for slow discharge, drain holes to prevent water buildup, and a 1-inch overhang to limit spillage. They also list a deeper hatch lid to deter tampering and critters.

Product details repeatedly advise using non-salt-based feeds (for example, corn and protein pellets) and warn that salt-based mineral supplements may damage the feeder—avoid salt-based mixes.

Weights vary across listings (examples shown as about 26.3 pounds and 60 pounds). Descriptions call the feeder “lightweight but strong,” but because weights differ by model, check the specific product listing to confirm weight and whether it meets your portability needs (e.g., for ATV transport or remote setups).

Feed ports are described as 10 inches long with a 10° angle, plus drain holes and a 1-inch overhang to limit spillage. The hatch lid is noted as about 3 inches deep to help deter tampering by animals.
