  • Patent number: 6571734
    Abstract: A wild game feeder which channels feed to feed ports through channels in an insert. The game feeder has a feed chamber with a flared base, preferably conical. An insert fits reversibly into the flared base. When feed is added to the feed chamber the insert distributes the feed evenly in the flared base and directs the feed uniformly through channels by gravity to the feed ports in the base. As the feed spills from the feed ports to the ground, the feed accumulates at the feed ports so as to prevent further spillage until an animal consumes the feed. The flared contour of the base prevents deer from injuring their growing antlers on the feed chamber as they feed.
