Moultrie Pro Hunter III Feeder Kit - Bluetooth App Control

Why it's worth it

This is a timer and spinner kit, not a complete feeder — it bolts onto a barrel, bucket or Moultrie hopper you supply. You get ten daily feed events, one to 60 seconds each, three spin speeds, and Bluetooth programming from up to 300 feet away.

Programming from your phone is the feature that actually changes how you hunt. Anyone who's crouched under a tripod in the dark, thumbing tiny buttons with cold hands, knows why. With this kit you stand back and set feed times on the app. If you've paired an Edge 3 Series camera, you can adjust from home over cellular. Owners who've used other spinners describe field programming as the thing they dreaded, and this removes it.

Ten feed events a day sounds like overkill, and for most hunters it is. What matters is the resolution. Realtree's biologists suggest timing the morning feed 30 to 45 minutes before legal shooting light and the evening one about 90 minutes before sunset, and Penn State Extension research finds deer settle into a schedule within one to two weeks and arrive inside a 15-minute window. A timer you can nudge by a few minutes is worth more than one with more slots.

What we like

• +Programming from your phone is the feature that actually changes how you hunt
• +Ten feed events a day sounds like overkill, and for most hunters it is
• +The adjustable spin plate speed is the quiet upgrade here
• +You're also buying flexibility that a bundled feeder can't match

What to know

• –The kit runs on a 6V tab-top rechargeable battery that Moultrie sells separately, and the solar panel is separate as well
• –The most worrying owner complaint involves the feeder dumping its whole load at once — one report describes 20 pounds of corn on…
• –Setup leans on the app
