Pondsters:

Wanted to give a heads up on a great feeder I have been using now for about a month at the pond, and several years feeding the deer here at my place in East Texas. It is made by Wild Game Innovations, is made from a 40g Poly barrel with a electric timer(6 volt re-chargeable battery) with solar charger. The "Aqua" model is directional, throws about 35'-40' in a 45 degree pattern, holds up to 200#'s of pellets, can schedule up to 9 feedings, each up to 99 seconds daily. I tested mine by catching a feeding and it throws 1/2# per each 40 second interval. The thing is well built and the timer is easy to use and protected in an easy to open compartment under the feeder away from the weather. Amazon sells these things for under $150.00 with shipping. Check it out if your are in the market, sure beats $700-$800!!!.....................Budster
