FAQ

What is the best type of protein feeder for deer?

The best type of protein feeder for deer depends on your land, deer population, and goals. Gravity feeders are a great option for deer feeding because they are simple and do not need batteries or power, and ensures regular natural flow of feed as the deer want to eat. If you want better control over feed flow and less waste, try adjustable tube-style protein deer feeders. For larger properties, free-standing tripod models are your best bet as they offer bigger feed capacity and are easier to reach for refills.

How do protein deer feeders help with antler growth?

Protein deer feeders play a key role in helping deer grow bigger antlers—especially in spring and summer when new growth starts. By offering a steady source of protein, you make up for what wild plants often lack. Dispersing feed regularly with a protein feeder gives deer the fuel they need to reach their full size and strength. A well-designed feeder also cuts down on waste and makes sure all deer on your land receives feed whenever required.

Where should I place a deer protein feeder on my property?

Placing your deer protein feeder in the right spot is important to attract deer and keep them coming back. Set it up near areas where deer bed down, just off of game trails or near water. This makes it easier for them to find and use. Avoid putting the feeder in open spaces where there are no trees or cover. Deer feel unsafe in these spots because they can be easily seen. Instead, choose areas with some trees or brush nearby so the deer feel protected. Place your protein deer feeder on flat ground so it stays stable and the feed comes out evenly.

How often should I refill protein feeders for deer?

The frequency of refilling a deer protein feeder depends on a few things—how big it is, how many deer show up, and what season it is. A normal 500-pound feeder, like the ones Native Outdoors sells, usually lasts about a month or so. But in times like late winter or early spring, when deer eat more, you will probably have to top it up more often. Gravity feeders are super easy to deal with, but still, check on them regularly so the feed stays fresh and doesn’t spoil.

Can I use a protein feeder year-round for wildlife nutrition?

Yes, you can and it is actually smart to use a protein feeder all year long to keep your deer healthy. Spring and summer help with antler growth and support young fawns, but deer still need protein through fall and winter to stay strong and in good shape. During colder months, a deer protein feeder helps them stay energized, keep their muscles strong, and fight off sickness when natural food is harder to find. 

How do I maintain and clean a deer protein feeder properly?

Maintaining your deer protein feeders ensures it works efficiently and lasts longer. Clean the inside and feed openings every few weeks to prevent mildew, blockages, or insect buildup. Check for cracks, rust, or worn parts that might affect feed flow. Keep the area under the feeder clean to avoid spoiled feed or unwanted pests. In rainy climates, consider adding a rain cover or lid to protect the feed. Regular care keeps your protein feeder working at its best.
