Redneck Outdoors T-post Gravity Deer Feeder Review

For many, the words “redneck outdoors” is some sort of pejorative. It denotes someone who doesn’t quite understand or accept modern technological advances. However, some people consider it as a mark of pride. In addition, these people’s use of “outdated” technology may actually make some sense. This may be true in the case of the Redneck Outdoors T-post Gravity Feeder, which uses a classic and easy to use design.

Gravity deer Feeders do not have any electronics. In fact, they don’t even have mechanical parts. It doesn’t sling the feed to the ground, which can cause the feed to get wet and therefore ruin the feed.

It just provides the feed for the deer above the ground in the feed tube, and that’s basically it.

Redneck Outdoors T-post Gravity Deer Feeders

• This needs either a T-post or a ratchet strap. With a T-post, you can set it up with the V-groove at the back of the unit. Your purchase also includes the various brackets and bolts to secure it in place so that it doesn’t fall to the ground when the deer bump it.
• You can also just use a ratchet strap to secure it to a tree. The feeder has a concave back so that it can rest against the tree securely and steadily. The unit also has grooves for the ratchet strap so that it can secure the deer feeder against the tree.
• Super large container for the feed can carry up to 80 pounds of feed. It comes in a standard funnel design, and you can control the flow rate of the feed at the bottom.
• Whole feeder is made out of durable plastic that’s tough enough to withstand the elements and keep the varmints out.

Pros

So, what makes this “redneck” contraption so effective as a gravity deer feeder? Why do a lot of people use it and buy more than one?

Easy Setup

First of all, the setup is easy. You just need to decide whether you want to use a tree and a ratchet strap or a T-post. You have the various mounting accessories and features needed for either method, so the deer feeder will be secure in its place.

Either way you choose, you can set the height of the feeder easily. You can set the ratchet strap at the height you want against the tree.

You also need to watch how deep you put in the T-post to determine the final height of the feed tube.

Other Benefits:

• If you have varmint problems, your best bet is to use the T-post. Then, all you need to figure out is how to keep the raccoons and squirrels from gaining a secure foothold on the post. You can use a simple PVC pipe, or a “shark teeth” accessory.
• Huge 80-pound capacity means that you won’t have to trudge to the deer feeder too frequently to refill the feed container. This can be a problem for some deer feeders, because it means that you “contaminate” the area with your scent. By minimizing the frequency of your refills, you can keep your scent away so the deer will feel safe enough to feed.
• Feed tube size of the Redneck Outdoors is big enough for the deer to use. It also stays off the wet ground. This product doesn’t sling the corn all over the ground. In fact, that method may not work for wet areas.
• Simple design is terrific. It can certainly withstand the elements for many years. There aren’t any electronics that can be damaged, nor are there any mechanical parts that can break down. It’s virtually maintenance-free.
• The durable plastic can also keep the raccoons and squirrels from chewing their way through to the feed.

Cons

So what’s wrong with a gravity fed deer feeder? Well, there are some issues which you may have to deal with.

• Strangely enough, a few folks report that it may take several weeks for the deer to gain enough confidence to approach this feeder and feed on it. The main issue is that this isn’t a “slinging” device, so you don’t have any feed on the ground. That’s why at first you have to do this manually, and you need to use gloves or a scoop to keep your scent away from the feed. You should spread a few corn kernels along the ground first, and then gradually put the corn closer until the deer approaches the feed tube.
• You also need to use your own anti-varmint method. Basically, if this is a problem in your area, then you need to use the T-post. You just have to keep the varmints from climbing up the post.

Redneck Outdoors Verdict

The problems with the Redneck Outdoors T-post Gravity Feeder are actually very minor, and they’re all easy to solve right at the start.

Once you solve the height and position placement, the feeder will work like a charm for many years to come.

You can set these deer feeders up in several different areas of your property and they can really keep your deer healthy for the hunting season!
