ABSTRACT:
A dispenser-tube deer feeder having a feeder tube (1), a feeder lid (2), a feeder wall (3) and a feeder floor (4) has at least one dispenser tube (5) sized to receive a deer snout, but not larger animal snouts. The dispenser tube is extended laterally from the feeder tube proximate the feeder floor. A dispenser (13, 18, 19) in conveyance communication from the feeder tube to the dispenser tube can be structured for allowing select constituencies of granular or liquid feed to be dispensed into the dispenser tube for deer to eat. A positioner (29, 30, 31,) is provided for positioning the dispenser tube a predetermined distance above a ground surface for access by deer but not shorter animals with snouts the same size or smaller than deer snouts. At least one positioner attachment (10, 25) is provided for attaching the feeder tube to a central post, a side post or an overhanging tree or structure.
