Academy Feeders Good/Bad?

[Lynn21]

Spend the 100 extra and go with asf. Lot more reputable. You always get what you pay for.

I wouldn't go with those. Similar but not same, guy on one lease had their protein feeder. I would help with the clogging issues. Turned out to be leaking due to the rivets on the handle. Just found it to be really cheap. This you are looking at is only 6V and doesn't include solar panel. Several good corn feeders that would hold up a lot better.

Hi,

I checked all Academy feeders and didn't like anything there. I think ASF is absolutely worth the money. Mine cost $649,00 but I don't regret the purchase.

I'm not familiar with that particular feeder but I will say that the tripods and barrel type feeders are so lightweight that they have a very limited lifespan. The concepts are good but the execution falls way short of something that will last in this country.

$399 Bucees would be my choice solely on the capacity available. Unless you lived an hour or less from your hunting property, capacity is king and even then, mine is 40 minutes away.

I have one bought a few months ago for my local pig place and no complaints so far for a budget feeder.

I bought one from Academy but it seemed to be a little more sturdy. Its a 720lb stand and fill. I've only had it out about a month, but so far so good. Think it was $479

I bought the 320 from Academy. I resealed all seams and built my own varmit guard to keep coons from hanging on my solar panel. The solar panel mounting bracket is very thin aluminum and bends looking at it. I’d be ashamed to build some of the items I’ve seen on feeders. It fit my budget so that’s what I bought. Working fine so far

I would buy buy the ASF just so I would not have to assemble the Game Winner feeder.

I've had three of the Academy 600# feeders and if you watch you can get the display model for around $100 towards the end of the year. I have been happy with them, no issues

100% this. I will buy Game Winner stuff when I need a one shot item. For anything I am using all the time hard pass

They are $399 at every Bucees I’ve ever been to

Not the Boss Buck 600# stand and fill. 299.00.

The Game Winner is a little labor intensive so be advised. Not difficult just lots of nuts and bolts.

Hey you guys stop talking about how little problems you are having. I buy them at the end of the year to use on leases I manage. Shhhhhhhush

I have 2 of he old Game Winner 600# feeders with no problems for a few years. They ARE NOT 600# feeders! Fill them full and they will hold 750#'s!!!!!!!
