Who uses Monarch products and what do you like or dislike about them?

I have one of their feeders and would buy more of their products. Feeder is very reliable after about 6 years or so.

Feeders are pretty good, cannot say for any other products

I have not pulled on any of their products. They are back up and running with new investors and owners. Rusty there is a good guy. Their feeders look fine, the blinds not so much. Tripods nice too.

Hate their timers and varmit cages

I have a steel blind, spin feeders, protien feeders and a hog trap. Rusty is number 1. I have no problems with the stuff and get lots of comments on my blind.

I like the feeders, but changed out the timers. Had issues with some of the new ones. Motors have worked great. I have one of the old steel blinds that I bought off another guy on the lease. Installed shelves, new windows, insulation and a drip edge...works great now.

IMO, they make a good product.

I hate the monarch bullets if those are the same. The paint melts and messes up your gun

I have a Monarch feeder and a two-man quadpod that I love. I do not use box blinds, but if I did I don't think I would buy one from them. As for feeders and tripods/quadpods they make a great product. Solid construction and as already mentioned, Rusty is a heck of a guy. I know that if I do ever have a problem I can just call Rusty and he will make sure it gets taken care of ASAP. from me!

I've never used their products but I've heard they make quality stuff. Me and a friend are talking to Rusty about becoming a dealer for him in the northern metroplex around McKinney. Just to offer people up here in this area an option without having to drive to Arlington. The pricing would be the same as the store in Arlington, no inflated prices. We would start small but be able to get every item in the catalog and possibly offer a delivery if someone was interested, or local pickup here around Collin County.

We have had pretty good luck with ther feeder motors.

The people at the company are great. I have never seen a brand that needed more repairs, or replacements, ever. They do stand behind their products, no doubt, but the failure rates of the feeder motors & timers(Mostly the timers) has been terrible. Moultree, as bad as they can sometimes be seem to have better durability, sadly.

edit to add- The solar panels are super & seem to put out & last better than most.

Which timer/motor are you using? They have two different models, the Quantum and the Crown model. The Crown model is cheaper, and you get what you pay for. Never had one problem with the Quantums. I have had one for several years and have a buddy who has been running 5 of them for the last 5 years with no problem.

I was in there just last week. Great people to deal with.

We have their quad pods, box blinds, and feeders and have no complaints. Well made, and are still trucking strong....

Call em up or peruse their website then call em up and order away...can't beat that local pick up and cash discount!!!

Have had a feeder for over 12 years with no issues at all. Never had to replace anything.

They have 2 different lines of timers, we use the more expensive 12v ones. We have had very little trouble with any of them and we have a bunch. The oldest one we have is from 1999 and it is still working great, last year I had to change the reostat on it because a wasp nest got built in there and somehow messed us it up. I really like the monarch stuff and wouldn't buy anything different.

Sounds like they are quality. I will be using some this year. Anybody that lives north of the metro and would like any info give me a shout. Again, we will be selling for the same price as the Arlington store but just offering a location farther North. Check out their website at deerfeeder.com

I have 6 of the 500lb galvanized corn feeders and I am not impressed. The legs are light duty and i have bent 3 of them already. If it rains and you don't alter the legs and give them some kind of feet for flotation expect to see your monarch on the ground, with bent legs and all the corn on the ground. Did I mention I hate the archaic timers? They are cumbersome and not very sophisticated but still work most of the time. Give me an All Seasons and their timers any day of the week. Deer don't seem to care what type of feeder it is though as long as it is throwing corn.

Shouldn't you make sure your feeder has some sort of feet to it no matter the brand?

I have two of their four legged stands with two chairs mounted on them. They went up easily and we built our own box blind on one. My wife loves them, I only sit up there for hogs since I don't rifle hunt deer but the bases are great and as has been noted here they are good folks to deal with. So if you want to build it the way you want it but purchase the base I think they are a good option.

I've put feet on them out of necessity. I don't have to have feet on my other 4 brands I have out there though, yet. Although one came with feet already.

I had a barrel spin feeder and 500 pound galvanized spin feeder. I also bought a few accessories and a barrel quail feeder as well. I bought products from them because of price and conveniance. I sold evrything but the quail feeder because of poor quality. They did stand behind their products when a timer stopped working or even a newer battery died. But I would not buy any more or recommend their products.

Check that, I also have a game hoist that fits in the receiver hitch on my truck that I got from them. Works perfectly and is heavy duty. Saved my back more than a few times. Hoist yes, feeders no.

True that! I love mine....

Have always worked with Rusty since they were on Abrams.
We have Tripods and 12v feeders, Timers are easy to set and use and Rusty has always provided warranty and support if needed.
