A high lift feeder protector has mounting, vertical extension, and horizontal extension members, which can be hollow to allow a suspension rope to run therethrough. The members together can resemble an extended cane. The far end of the suspension rope attaches to a feeder. The rope runs up from the feeder, into an output port on the underside of the horizontal extension member, through the horizontal extension member, through the vertical extension member, through the mounting member, and then extends out an input port at the near end thereof. The tag end of the suspension rope can then be affixed to a cleat, winch or other securing device. A rope stop can be affixed near the tag end and should be large enough that it cannot fit within the input port. Thus, the rope stop functions to stop the rope from feeding completely in and through the members.
