One and Done PRO Game Feeder - Built to Last - Loads 122lbs or 250 lbs (30 Gallon Scout Game Feeder) for Hunters

Finally, a feeder that may outfox coons, and squirrels too! In taking into consideration other reviews, I have attached a 30 gallon garbage can lid with bungee cords on the top to ward off water, caulked the funnel to keep corn dust and small particles from falling down into the battery compartment, and placed a 1/8" weather strip at the top of the compartment door to keep out our torrential S. GA rains. My only other fear, is that driven rain may go down the inclined corn shoot even with the little protector roof. I also added 2' poles in the legs to elevate it off of the ground as bending down to work the battery and timer is not that easy any more. It came extremely well packaged with good foam, but even so, two of the leg feet wee slightly bent, but that's not a big factor. I did have a slight problem inserting the oblong funnel inside and wish there was a video of that. So far it's working great and will update if there's a fail.

Bought it to put out by my deer shack set it up at the edge of the woods behind my house to test it. My wife and I liked it there feeding the mixed animals so much I did not move it we watch the deer, squirrel and turkey from our screened in porch. I will by another one for where I hunt later. It’s built well does what it says it will do, great how to videos from the manufacturer. It’s really idiot proof.

Pros: 1. I have had many different types of feeders, this is first one the raccoons and squirrels can not get to or destroy. Feeder is mounted with bottom about 3 feet off ground, raccoons try but can’t get to it. 2. Well built, solid metal. Cons: 1. Very expensive. For the price expected better. 2. Hard on batteries, gone through several battery types in little over a year, even bought batteries recommended by seller, they do not last through one filling. 3. Recently timer is malfunctioning, at regular feed times it runs for about half second, does not put out any corn. Using test function or remote it works fine. Tried changing all settings, battery, no luck. Tried contacting One and Done, twice, via on line contact form and email direct, nothing, just asked for suggestions on what to try, no response. 4. Does not hold 130 pounds of corn as advertised, get about two 50 pound bags, maybe just a little more. I have 32 gallon feeder. 5. In just over a year, starting to rust, lid rim is rusting quite a bit and hard to get off. 6. Timer and battery camber get lots of corn dust plus rain gets in so it’s a mess.

Overall I would say this is one of the nicer feeders in this price range. It is made in China, much like all the other major brands out there. The body of the feeder is thick, the paint job is decent although it does appear there were some scratches that were touched up at the factory and left a rough finish. The packaging it was shipped in was very good and protected it well. I have had other brand feeders show up dented due to rough handling and the feed drum being shipped in only plastic shipping wrap. The bracket that is used to mount the feeder to the tree is removable. This is a nice feature, you can use a ratchet strap to easily attach the bracket to a tree and then lift the feeder onto the bracket. The timer is a little confusing to program but once you get the hang of it it’s not bad at all. One note on the timer, One and Done’s website has the programming instructions. There are 6 possible run times you can program, to turn them on and off the directions say to use the HR button. On my timer I had to use the SET button to turn each run time on or off. The motor is strong and throws corn a good distance although you will get more closer to the feeder, which is to be expected. One of the major issues I found was the baffle that sits down inside the feeder which serves as the bottom of the hopper and keeps corn from falling into the motor/battery area. There are large gaps around the edges and there is no hardware to secure it down. I used a sheet metal screw to lock it down and caulking to seal the edges, not a big deal or difficult to do, but I would say it’s necessary to keep the motor area clean as possible. This baffle also serves as the top side of the shoot where the feed is shot out from. There were gaps there as well that would allow corn and corn dust to get into the motor/battery area. I used caulking to seal those gaps, this is a tight area and took some time. Batteries are the same as those used in solar electric fence energizers and wheelchairs, and share the same connectors. The motor/battery compartment door does have a gap, not terrible but it is there. I put my timer inside a ziplock bag to keep it dry. Some of the pictures show the compartment door with one latch, mine came with two, it seems they listened to the complaints of the door not being secured effectively. Overall it’s a good feeder with a little work and about $5 of materials. I will likely upgrade the timer to “The-Timer”, those seem to have good reviews.
