Here at Big Buck Down we are hunters and we had a problem. We couldn't afford to provide a 24 hour a day wildlife buffet. So we looked at options and quickly found out we couldn't afford similar products on the market. So we set out to build are own with staying affordable in mind. It's 50 lb capacity seemed a bit small at first until we realized just how much feed waste we truly had at night . From our experience we found these feeders could pay for themselves in as little as one month. We do have larger feeders in mind but again affordability is key. We are here to help hunters not give false promises and break the bank.
