I agree with the comment made earlier about supporting the manufacturers that support Pond Boss; however, I believe so strongly in the Monarch Hunting Products. I felt compelled to chime in.
Years ago (9 to be exact)I bought my first Monarch to feed deer. Used it without problem or concern for the first deer season. Simply because of laziness, I left in the pasture for the entire year. Prior to the following deer season, I assessed the situation to find: the cattle knocked it over, knocked the cover plate off, it was lying face up (meaning that it collected rain in the timer), a bird nested inside the timer and the dirt dobbers took up residence inside as well. I cleaned it out, replaced the battery and it has continued to work perfectly ever since.
Since then, I have purchased 5 more. Three of which I converted into fish feeders. At the time, Monarch did not offer a fish feeder. They do now. I converted mine by simply adding some flashing around the back half (the half toward the land) of the feeder/barrel. Therefore, feed is slung out into the pond on the open/front portion and hits the flashing and drops down on the back-half with the flashing. They work great.
Stay away from anything with Moultrie on it. Unless you want to learn how to cuss!
