Internal funnel to prevent grain rot;

Now, I have gone through numerous methods of placement of these feeders and through trial and error, have come up with the following:

	Ground placement of Feeders with short legs - While easy to fill, after a while deer and hogs will get so accustomed to them that when the corn level gets low enough, the animals will turn the feeder on its side and paw/root at the timer to get more corn out, thus damaging the unit. If you have bear in your area, it won't be long until you will find the feeder destroyed.
	Ground placement of feeders with extension legs - This placement keeps the deer and hogs from damaging your timer, but it is very hard to fill. If you have bear in your area, it won't be long until you will find the feeder destroyed.
	Hanging feeder without short legs - This feeder style is not offered by "Game Country" with good cause. Because you cant lower the feeder until it makes contact with the ground (which would damage the timer), you are trying to pour corn into a moving target.
	Hanging feeder with short legs raised and lowered by a boat winch - a lot of work raising full feeder (150-450 lbs. depending on grain choice and feeder size) plus, a pulley rated for that much weight can be expensive.
	Hanging feeder with short legs raised and lowered by a "chain-hoist"- This is the best method of feeder placement that I have found. Raising and lowering is faster and takes much less effort than a winch. It is easy to secure the feeder in it's raised position by wrapping the chain around the tree that your feeder hangs from and placing a lock through the chain.
	We also offer a "lock-on" feeder hanger that is very easy to use (just climb the tree using a climbing tree stand or ladder, wrap the chain of the hanger around the tree snuggly, lock it into the provided vertical "link" slot, then place a "long-shanked" lock through the provided "lock barrels".
	One final note about bears. I have seen hanging feeders destroyed even after the trunk of the tree holding the feeder was wrapped with barbed wire. The only effective way to "bear-proof" a hanging feeder is to wrap the trunk of the tree holding the feeder with stove pipe material from the ground to the feeder hanger. I know of no way to "bear proof" a feeder placed in any other manner.
	Grain Choice: for animals such as deer, hogs, bear, turkeys, etc., whole corn is very attractive while the small pieces of corn left behind by these animals is eaten by dove, quail etc. If you want to feed protein pellets in the spring, you will want to get the game used to the feeder by starting them out on corn in the winter.
	Remember: On all feeders, the finer the grain, the more the feeder will hold (but it won't last any longer because it comes out at a higher rate). So, if you see a feeder advertised as a 225lb feeder, it is probably referring to its maximum capacity and will not hold 225 lbs. of whole corn. Buy your feeder by the gallon capacity. For "Game Country" feeders which include a galvanized internal funnel to prevent your feed from rotting (but due slightly reduce the capacity) the feeders hold the following amounts of whole corn:

                55 Gallon Feeder: 300 lbs

Also Note: These feeders (like all timer-dispenser feeders) require the use of "Clean" corn. Impurities like chunks of cob or pieces of stalk will stop up the dispenser tube.
