If you’ve always wanted to put in a feeder in your backyard, finding a good deer feeder in Dallas is a good way to get started. We list here 3 things you should know:

Deer feeder types

There are plenty of popular programs out there. That means plenty of options you could choose from. That also means plenty of options to cull from so you’ll have to learn how to filter your choices until you find one that works for you. Some feeders discharge pellets every time a deer feeds at the base. That’s ideal if you want to make sure every deer gets fresh pellets any given day. There are other feeders that release the food on schedule, though. Decide on which one you think your outdoor guests will like.

Feeder location

Hunt Spot says it’s best to put in feeders along the tree line. Trees help a deer feel secure so it’s much more likely to approach your feeders. Don’t forget to put a water source near your feeder so your deer guests will keep coming back for more. You could try putting in other types of food a deer likes—like apples—but if you want feeds that stay fresh longer, go for grains instead.

Other guests

While a good choice of deer feeder in Dallas will surely draw in Bambi and other deers, be prepared to see other guests as they pay your feeders a visit as well. You might catch a glimpse of birds or squirrels, for instance. Get your camera ready if you want to catch these guests in action. However, if you want to keep your feeders safe from these other unwanted guests, try moving your feeders to a spot that’s far from trees. That could cut down on the number of your unwanted guests who might nosh on your feeders.
