The American Hunter AHNFECON Nesting Hopper transforms wildlife feeding with its space-saving collapsible design and programmable timer system. This 5-gallon capacity feeder combines portability with precision timing control for consistent game management.
What Makes This Different
The collapsible hopper design sets this feeder apart from fixed-capacity units that consume storage space year-round. When not in use, the hopper nests down to a compact size for easy transport and storage. The integrated Econ Feeder Kit includes a digital timer with 16 programmable feeding cycles, offering more scheduling flexibility than basic mechanical timers found on standard feeders.
Key Features
- Collapsible 5-gallon hopper reduces to compact size for storage and transport
- 16 programmable feeding cycles with 1-30 second duration settings
- Digital timer system provides precise feed distribution control
- Weather-resistant black polymer construction withstands outdoor conditions
- Complete Econ Feeder Kit includes motor, spinner plate, and mounting hardware
- Adjustable throw pattern accommodates various feeding area sizes
- Battery-powered operation eliminates need for electrical connections
Field performance centers on consistent feed distribution across multiple daily cycles. The digital timer maintains accuracy in temperature extremes, while the spinner mechanism throws feed in a controlled pattern up to 25 feet. The system operates reliably on standard 6-volt batteries, making it suitable for remote locations without power access.
