i use american hunter.. i hate the tick switch set up.. i prefer digital feeders. they go off right on time to the second. I have used american hunter since i started hunting and hate that it goes off like a half hour fast of slow due to the timer setup and the pins.. thats just my experience.
example.. you set it to go off a half hour before dark and it goes off a half hour later (at dark) then your climbing down and it goes off or the hogs come in when its too dark.
Like Carlos said...
You need to set the time about 1/2-1hr ahead. The "trip pin" design does not work that well. I just set mine ahead and it works well. The last 2 pics I posted above are an American Hunter. It has been sitting there in the same spot since Feb last year. I have a solar charger, and I have not taken the battery out at all. Still reads over 6v.
I can also tell you from experience that the varmit zappers will drain your battery in a weeks time. An easier way to keep the critters off is to grease the feeder legs with vaseline
Good info on that feeder guys, thanks
