The Timer Problems

[M16]

I bought 6 last year and almost all 6 gave me problems. I had two dump 3,000 pounds of corn and thats when I reached out to the place that sold me the feeders. They had since gone out of business so I reached out to West Texas Feeder Supply. The owner called me in response to my message and shipped me 6 replacement timers and I had them in a couple of days. It was excellent customer service. I'm running the new 6 timers now with no problems. He said they had a bad run with the manufacturer and were having much better results with the newer units.

Did they compensate you for the corn? Otherwise it’s poor customer service. I had one do that to me. I’m not giving them a second chance.

yep, my new "The Timer" has creep in the set time and moves forward. Feeder went off 30 min early last time I was at the lease.

I gave away or sold for pennies on the dollar anything I had with "WGI" stamped on it. All of the sudden no more problems.

Had a few of these moultries going for 4 to 5 years with no problems battery
makes it through the season. Had nothing but problems with moultrie years ago
but since they improved the control box no problems so far.

I just had one of these go bad. It is about 5 years old so I guess I can't complain. I have used Academy's brand and never had a problem so I that is what I will replace the bad one with.

C'mon, man. Really?

I have two “the timers” and both gain roughly 6-7 minutes a week. Got them from Hallettsville brush to bay. Maybe they will swap them out. If not it will be an annoying problem I can live with. I switched fro HCR timers as they were resetting on a regular basis.

Yea I'll have to send back mine again. I forgot myself and another Hunter had both feeders spin all 600lbs of corn. I've got the creeping problem now with the replacement he sent me. As you can tell I like them just trying to push through all the problems. Creep isn't acceptable when the feeder goes off 30 min before shooting light and that big buck gets his fill in 15 min in my opinion

If you have never tried a "Triple C Feeder" you should.
Awesome timers and reliable!

If you bought a coffee maker that shorted out and burned your house down. Would you be okay with them just sending you a new coffee maker?

300# of corn is one thing.

3,000# of corn is a lot of money. I’d be a lot more ****** about that.

I don't think it's the corn only. Cost of the hunt and time out there sucks. I know stuff goes wrong and can get mad when it comes to our hunting. They have great customer service and last time he made it right all be it with another one that has an issue and is annoying. I wish they would put out a notice that these timers may have these issues. I would have exchanged it if I knew before it spun all my corn or just didn't spin opening bow season.

Worst feeling is getting in blind for opening day to find out your timer reset itself a month ago and hasn't been feeding or a huge pile of corn and a burnt up battery.

Fify... for a better more reasonable less dramatic comparison

Swing and a miss. Let's talk real numbers.

Bought new feeder with the timer
Figure $70 for the timer
Bought 12 sacks of corn @$6 each for a total $72

Set up and filled feeder. Two days later the feeder is empty with remnants of corn scattered around.

Total loss $142.

Bought Texas Hunter timer for $30

No more problems

Yes you did.......$142 or ($360 in his case) compared to losing a $150-250K house is a great comparison.

I guess you like wild game innovations products as well if you think Texas Hunter is a top quality product.
