Wildlife Feeding: Feed and baiting technology for your ground all year

Wildlife Feeding: Well supplied through the season

When snow covers the ground and browse runs short, reliable wildlife feeding matters on many shoots. Whether it is roe deer, red deer or the hedgehog in your garden, the right feed and the right kit make looking after them much easier. Here you will find high fibre mixes, salt licks and sturdy automatic feeders for baiting, so you can spend your time on the ground where it counts.

Feed that suits the species

Roe and red deer have quite different needs. Roe prefer light, varied and easily digestible food, while red deer eat larger amounts and need plenty of crude fibre. The Leimüller mixes are built around exactly these differences, from the spring blend to the hearty power mix. On top of that, salt licks and salt paste supply minerals, while dried apple pomace and lucerne hay add structure to the ration. Garden owners will also find hedgehog food that helps prickly visitors build reserves in autumn.

Baiting with technology that thinks ahead

For baiting wild boar, many hunters rely on automatic baiting machines that release small amounts at set times. That keeps the site topped up regularly, even when you cannot get out every day. The Eurohunt feeders run on 6 or 12 volts, can be recharged with solar panels and extended with storage containers. An anchor set keeps the unit firmly in place. Feeding and baiting are governed by different hunting regulations in every country and region, so check what applies to you before you start.

Frequently asked questions

When am I allowed to start feeding deer in winter?
That depends on the rules where you hunt, as many regions only allow feeding during periods of hardship or when the authorities say so. If in doubt, ask your local hunting or wildlife authority. If you do feed, start early and steadily rather than suddenly putting out large amounts.

What is the difference between feeding and baiting?
Feeding is meant to support game through times when natural food is scarce. Baiting uses very small amounts to draw animals, usually wild boar, to a specific spot to make hunting easier. Each has its own rules, and these vary considerably from region to region.

How should I store wildlife feed?
Keep it dry, cool and well ventilated, for example on a pallet in a barn or garage. Damp or mouldy feed should never go out, as it can harm the animals. Close opened sacks properly so mice and rats stay out.
