Reduction of up to 50% by cutting off nighttime feed thieves.

Eliminates Nocturnal Feeding

Stops after-dark feeding at your feeder sites.

More Huntable Bucks

Makes mature, previously nocturnal bucks far more huntable.

Expedited Genetics

Facilitates faster, more targeted genetic improvement.

Maximizes the Hunt

Maximizes the hunter's experience during legal shooting hours.

Time Savings

Extends feeder refill intervals — less time hauling feed.

How It Works

How It Works

FeedVault™ transforms your existing gravity-fed protein feeder into a precision wildlife management tool by controlling exactly when feed is accessible.

At the heart of the system is a patented timed-access control system that lets ranch owners and hunters create specific feeding windows during the hours they choose. Using a programmable timer, FeedVault automatically opens and closes the feed access system, mounted to the ends of the gravity-fed tubes.

Powered by a rechargeable battery and solar panel, the system operates independently in the field with minimal maintenance. Specially designed electromechanical components and custom-manufactured heavy-duty linear actuators work together to precisely control access, while purpose-built mounting and alignment components ensure reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions.

A FeedVault unit installed on a green gravity-fed protein feeder standing on grass beside a pond. A solar panel is mounted on the side of the hopper, an access ladder runs up the right leg, and the linear actuators that open and close the feed tubes are fitted beneath the hopper.

By restricting feed availability to selected daylight hours, FeedVault helps:

Attract Deer During Legal Shooting Hours

Increase daylight visits by drawing deer to your feeder when it's legal to hunt.

Reduce Feed Loss

Keep raccoons, feral hogs, and other non-target animals out.

Improve Encounters With Mature Bucks

More daylight activity means more opportunities.

Increase Feeding Efficiency

Feed at the right time for the right results.

Save Money

Ensure feed is consumed when — and by whom — you intend.

Simply install FeedVault™ on your gravity-fed protein feeder, set your desired feeding schedule, and let the system do the rest.

The Story

The Story Behind FeedVault™

FeedVault™ was born from the vision of renowned Texas wildlife biologist Macy Ledbetter, with a single goal in mind: convert mature, nocturnal bucks into daylight-harvestable deer.

Hunters have long had to accept that big mature bucks only show up at feeder sites after dark. The challenge was clear — find a way to make protein accessible only during legal shooting hours.

The Solution: FeedVault™ — a patented protein access control system that allows protein to be accessible only during prime legal shooting hours.

Mature bucks soon learn that if they want the protein feed attractant, they must visit the feeder site when FeedVault™ allows access — turning nighttime visitors into daylight harvest opportunities.

But what we discovered next was unexpected — and game changing.

When FeedVault™ is set to prevent nocturnal feeding by whitetails, the system also prevents access by raccoons, feral hogs, and every other nocturnal feed thief. It turns out FeedVault™ has two incredible benefits.

1

More Daylight Harvestable Deer

By limiting feed access to legal shooting hours, mature bucks learn to feed at the site during those hours — making them harvestable.

2

Major Savings on Protein Costs

By eliminating nighttime access by raccoons, feral hogs, and varmints, field studies have shown as much as 50% in feed savings.
