The Eliminator Round Scatter Plate for Deer & Game Feeders | Wind & Pest Resistant Spinner

Overview

The Eliminator Round Scatter Plate is a purpose-built spinner that works with deer and game feeders to reduce waste and improve feed delivery. Designed for a standard 1/4" motor shaft, this round plate seals neatly against your funnel or downspout, helping prevent wind-driven drift and pest-related losses. When the feeder motor runs, the plate drops to scatter feed in a controlled pattern. After the feeding cycle completes, a spring-loaded shaft lifts the plate back to the top position for the next cycle.

Key benefits at a glance

• Minimizes feed loss from wind and varmints such as raccoons and squirrels
• Spinner action drops during motor activation and rises when the cycle ends
• Compatibility with a 1/4" motor shaft, a common standard on many feeders
• Compact 5" diameter that fits well with round feeder designs
• Improved performance on truck, ATV, and UTV feeders due to reduced bounce and vibration sensitivity

Real-world use and scenarios

Think of a windy field, a roadside feeder, or a backcountry setup where weather and terrain can jostle equipment. The Eliminator is designed to stay aligned with the feed stream even on bouncing platforms, helping to keep more feed in the intended path. Mounting against a funnel or downspout creates a tight seal that minimizes spill and drift. The result is a more predictable feed pattern with less waste, which can translate to fewer refills and more dependable wildlife viewing.

Fitment, notes, and value

• This is the round model; a rectangular variant is also available for alternative footprints
• While the upfront cost is higher than traditional spinners, the potential savings come from reducing feed waste over time
• Diameter is 5" for a compact, versatile footprint compatible with many feeder configurations

How it works

On motor activation, the Eliminator drops to disperse feed in a controlled manner. Once the cycle completes, the plate rises back to its top position, ready for the next round. This simple mechanical action helps keep feed where wildlife can access it, rather than being dispersed by wind or drifting away with pests.

Note

For best results, pair with a feeder that accommodates a 1/4" motor shaft and position against the funnel or downspout to achieve a tight seal. This upgrade is designed to perform across various vehicle-mounted and fixed installations, offering a practical way to optimize feed efficiency without changing your entire feeder system.
