by Bob Robb Texas Hunter Products started out in the hunting blind business in the early 1950s/ By paying attention to what hunters need, Texas Hunter Products has developed many "firsts" throughout the company's history. For example, they patented their first deer feeder in 1961 and were the first company to offer a solar panel for their feeders. Recently, they set the new standard for deer blinds and deer stands with the introduction of the maintenance-free Texas Hunter Starboard XL marine-grade siding that comes standard with every new Texas Hunter deer blind - backed by a lifetime limited warranty. Since then, the company's product line has grown to include not just durable blinds, but also deer and fish feeders and accessory products. Here are some of their hot new offerings for 2006. PROTEIN FEEDERS Texas Hunter Products has developed one of the simplest, most affordable ways to accelerate antler growth in the industry's history. Recently, Texas Hunter Products introduced its new Protein Feeder with their exclusive patented funnel technology. The system uses a gravity flow system that doesn't require any moving parts, but always keeps food fresh. The design provides deer with clean, dry supplemental feed - on demand - and includes large welded footpads, 24-ince stabilizing stakes and a heavy-duty galvanized lid. This feeder is affordably prices and will feed corn, protein pellets, and soybeans - just about anything you put in there. With a 350-pound capacity and three feed ports, Texas Hunter customers have been buying several of these affordable units and spreading them around their wildlife environment in order to distribute feed to more areas - and more deer - than a single, larger-capacity unit that's centrally located on the property. The advantages of getting the feed out to more deer in more areas is paying off for customers, who are beginning to reap the benefits of larger antler growth in their herds. BLINDS Texas Hunter Products began with nothing more than what they call a "mighty good deer blind" more than 50 years ago. In the past few years, the company has seen a trend among hunters who are moving out of the cold and into the large, 4'x8' double blind that provides plenty of room for two or three adults. The comfort and convenience factors of the large double blinds over hunting from a tree stand or smaller blind include the ability to hunt with one or two other people in the same space, heat the inside with a small portable heater, and have plenty of room to stand and stretch 9all Texas Hunter blinds boast a tall 6-foot, 3-inch headroom). Their blinds - often referred to as "shooting houses" - are built to last a lifetime. The side panels are now made from Starboard XL marine-grade polymer sheets, a maintenance free material that can withstand sun, rain, heat and harsh weather, and will never rot or need painting. The customer-extruded aluminum corner posts, window and door guides, once-piece galvanized steel roof and steel floor supports are designed for life-long durability and easy assembly. All blinds include the company's deluxe 360-dregree viewing system featuring silent sliding Plexiglas window panels and a unique sliding entry door - easily one of the safest and most practical blind entry systems in the business. GAME FEEDERS Texas Hunter Products also offers a full line of feeders with prices starting at $89 for their popular Game Feeder Kit. A 350-pound feeder, complete with a Game Feeder Kit and 8-foot extension legs, is only $279. Other feeder models and capacities are available up to 650 pounds. EZ SET DIGITAL TIMER If you are looking for a replacement timer for your game feeders, look no further. With built-in "Smart Technology" and the easy three-button input, you can throw away the instruction manual on this rugged, dependable unit. A universal adapter is included that fits any feeder. It is also pre-wired to plug into any Texas Hunter Game Feeder, and features a built-in battery tester. With this unit, setting time, scheduling feed events and using the safe test mode is a snap. It comes with a five-year warranty and, best of all, costs just $69. How can you go wrong? |
