What is the mobile bait station?
The mobile bait station is a barrel equipped with an electric conveyor and a transmitter unit. When given a specific command via smartphone (app, browser or sms) or PC (browser), the mobile bait stations dispenses the desired amount of bait. You can also check the fill level and battery level or set daily baitings.
Entstehen laufenden kosten?
Nein! Die Handykirrung wird mit ausreichend Daten für rund 6 Jahre ausgeliefert. Danach kannst du das Guthaben für 10,00 € aufladen oder eine andere SIM Karte mit ein paar Euro Datenguthaben einlegen. Das reicht dann wieder für einige Jahre (1 GB reicht für rund 6 Jahre). Außer für den Mais (und ggf. die Batterien) entstehen daher keine laufenden Kosten.
Muss ich ein Abo abschließen oder mich irgendwo anmelden?
Nein, du musst dich zur Nutzung der Handykirrung nirgendwo anmelden und auch kein Abo abschließen. Du lädst einfach die kostenfreie App herunter, gibst die Nummer deiner Handykirrung ein und kannst loslegen.
How is the bait delivered?
Following the command (app, browser or sms), the bait falls vertically out of the barrel within the next (maximum) 15 minutes. The bait is not scattered or otherwise distributed over the surface, (unless you use the special distributor ball). To prevent game other than wild boar from ingesting the bait, the bait funnel can be mounted under the mobile bait. It is available separately in the shop and costs €29. Only sows can lift it, so other game cannot reach the bait. The transparent tube of the funnel also allows you to see on the game camera whether and how much bait is currently being offered.
Is the use of the mobile bait station permitted in my state in Germany?
The legal admissibility of using the mobile bait station depends on the respective state regulations. In addition, the general regulations on baiting and feeding must be observed (quantity, number of bait stations, etc.). To provide an overview, we would like to comment on the legal situation in the respective federal states of Germany in bullet points:
- Baden-Württemberg : 1 feeding station/50 ha; max. 1 litre per feeding station at the same time = mobile bait station permitted
- Bavaria : minimum possible size: 1 feeding station/100 ha; max. approx. 1 kg per feeding station at the same time = mobile bait station permitted
- Berlin : Mobile bait station permitted
- Brandenburg : only "small quantity" (not further defined, probably at least 1 litre) per feeding station at the same time = mobile bait station permitted
- Bremen : From 01.05.-15.10. only occasional baiting allowed; otherwise no regulations = mobile bait station permitted
- Hamburg : Mobile bait station permitted
- Hesse : 1 litre/day; bait must not be accessible to other game ( bait funnel ) = mobile bait station permitted
- Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania : "occasional baiting" permitted; max. 3 kg per bait at a time = mobile bait station permitted
- Lower Saxony : Use of feeding facilities and containers for baiting prohibited = mobile bait station not permitted
- North Rhine-Westphalia : all feeding devices and feeding machines are prohibited; mobile feeding devices (if used appropriately) comply with quantity specifications in contrast to pendulum sow drums and spreaders = mobile bait station (formally) prohibited , but the violation is less severe than with conventional feeding devices and feeding machines
- Rhineland-Palatinate : calling requires a permit; only calling by hand is permitted; a (very controversial) amendment to the state hunting law is currently being made, outcome unclear = mobile bait station is (currently) not permitted
- Saarland : Feeding machines allowed up to 700g/day = mobile bait station permitted
- Saxony : max. 5 kg per feeding station at the same time = mobile bait station permitted
- Saxony-Anhalt : "simple mechanical device" ( LJV Saxony-Anhalt speaks of automatic feeders) may have a capacity of max. 5 kg = mobile bait station is rather inadmissible (however, reduction of the capacity is conceivable)
- Schleswig-Holstein : "occasional luring" permitted; bait must not be accessible to other game ( bait funnel ) = mobile bait station permitted
- Thuringia : Bait material may only be presented again if previously presented bait material has been completely consumed by the game; max. 1 kg of grain may be presented at a time; technical equipment is permitted if it is suitable for limiting the amount of bait accordingly = mobile bait station is permitted
Feeding game is different from baiting. In most federal states of Germany, feeding is only permitted in times of need and under special conditions. The use of mobile baiting for feeding is therefore subject to strict regulations, which should be checked in the respective federal state. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions about the legal situation in your federal state of Germany.
How do I control the mobile bait station?
The mobile bait station can be controlled with the smartphone via app, SMS or in the browser, as well as from the PC in the browser. You can set the duration of the bait delivery (up to 99 seconds per bait = approx. 1 liter of corn), decide when the bait should be delivered (immediately or at a later time) and set whether the bait should be delivered daily or just once. After giving the bait command "bait immediately", it can take up to (maximum) 15 minutes until the bait is delivered. You can find out more about controlling the mobile bait here on the page under " The app " and under " Handling ".
Is the app available for Android and Apple?
Yes, you can find the app under the name "Handykirrung" in both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
How do you install the mobile bait station in the hunting area?
There are two main ways to mount the mobile bait station: hanging freely from a branch/frame or on the side of a tree. A pulley and two tensioning straps are included in the scope of delivery. Both mounting methods are explained in the operating instructions and shown in the Video on this website.
Can you also bait regularly?
Yes, the mobile bait station makes it possible to bait at any time, for example exactly when the sows were on camera or are currently there. But you can also set a regular time for baiting. In both cases, the amount can also be freely determined.
Are there additional costs for mobile communications during ongoing operations?
No, there are no additional running costs. The mobile bait station is delivered with an IoT SIM card. When used via app or SMS, the €10 credit provided is used up very slowly (more than five years). The card can then be topped up or replaced with any standard PIN-free SIM card.

Where does mobile bait station get its power from?
The mobile bait station is powered by standard AA batteries (Mignon) or an additional 20 Ah lithium-ion-accu. 8 or 16 batteries can be inserted. With 16 batteries, the mobile bait station works for an average of around 2 - 3 months. With the fully charged lithium-ion-accu, the mobile bait station works for additional 6-9 month longer (combined 8 - 12 month).
For which bait is the mobile bait station suitable?
The mobile bait is suitable for corn, wheat and similar (dry) grains.
