450lbs - Orion Modular Stand and Fill Deer Feeder

Pick by how often you're willing to drive out and refill, not by herd size. The 450 lb holds about a month of feed for a typical two-feeder setup on a small property; the 750 stretches a back-forty through most of a season; the 1050 is for leases you visit rarely or properties with real pressure. All three take 300 lb hopper extensions, so you can size up later without buying a new feeder — start smaller if you're unsure.

Yes — and when it's anchored with the MAX Anchor Kit, Orion guarantees it in writing for 12 months against bear and hog damage that disables the feeder.The hexagonal base cage and 16-gauge powder-coated steel are what keep them out of the hopper, and the low-profile wide stance is what stops a bear tipping it over to dump the feed on the ground. The MAX Anchor Kit — four pound-in anchors rated at 800 lbs of pull-out force each — is what makes the feeder immovable, and it's the one condition the guarantee carries. If you have bears, order it with the feeder.

41 inches on the 450, 49 inches on the 750, and 58 inches on the 1050 — all filled standing flat-footed on the ground. No ladder, no balancing a 50 lb bag on a tailgate, no lifting overhead. That's the whole point of a stand-and-fill design: if your back or your shoulder is the reason you've been putting off a bigger feeder, this is the number that matters.

Up to a 60-foot spread diameter, with the heaviest concentration around 20 feet. The Eliminator spinner plate is what controls the throw and keeps the pattern consistent shot to shot.

A 12-volt solar-charged battery with an 8Ah AGM cell — no batteries to swap out mid-season. The programmable timer has six settings and will feed up to six times a day.

Corn, soybeans, and other roasted, dried or filtered feeds of similar size and consistency — dried and filtered feed is far less likely to clog or mold. Use mixed feeds, protein pellets and additives with caution: pellets are sensitive to humidity and can swell and clump, which clogs or damages the motor on any mechanical feeder. Replacement parts are available if it happens.

Yes. Hopper extension kits add 300 lbs at a time to any Orion feeder, and each extension has its own oversized acrylic sight glass so you can still read your feed level at a glance. That's what "modular" means here — you buy the size you need now and grow it, rather than replacing the feeder.

No. The base cage and the Eliminator plate mean varmints only get what the feeder actually throws — there's no open trough to sit in and no soft material to chew through. Coons and squirrels eat what hits the ground, not what's in the hopper.

The feeder runs fine without it — but the 12-month Bear/Hog Proof Guarantee only applies to feeders anchored with it.That's the deciding factor. Four pound-in anchors at 800 lbs of pull-out force each make the feeder effectively immovable, and they're what the guarantee is written against. In bear or hog country, order it with the feeder rather than after the first incident. At $57 on a feeder over a thousand dollars, it's the cheapest insurance on the page.

Orion covers feeder-disabling bear and hog interactions for 12 months from purchase, on top of the 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Contact us with photos and we'll sort the replacement parts.

LTL freight with lift-gate service and a delivery appointment — the carrier calls ahead so an adult can be there to accept it. Ships to residential and commercial addresses. 30-day returns for refund or exchange; you cover return shipping.

It depends entirely on your state, and in some states on your county. Roughly 22 states allow hunting directly over a feeder, about 12 allow feeders but not as an in-season hunting aid, and about 15 ban feeding outright. Some states go further — Wisconsin prohibits automated feeders even where hand-scattered bait is legal in non-CWD counties, and Mississippi effectively requires above-ground feeders. Check your state wildlife agency before you buy, and remember that year-round feeding for herd health is legal in many places where hunting over bait is not.
