Keeping raccoons away from deer feeder

Coons are just a part of life unless you’re willing to go to some pretty extreme lengths. Even if you do trap or poison them, you’ll barely make a dent if there’s a creek bottom around.

There’s a redneck trick of greasing the poles with crisco but it doesn’t last. You can build a cage to keep them away from a spinning feeder but it’s got to be heavy gauge or they’ll find a way to destroy it. They will pick around a zapper after getting popped a time or two.

I’ve just accepted that if feeding corn the coons are gonna get theirs. I’ve had dozens a night at some points, but it doesn’t seem to bother the deer. Feed in the morning if you really want to give the deer first right of refusal.

find yourself some idiot that likes to eat them for some dumb reason, take a few days and go sit out after dark with a Ruger 10/22 and have some fun. Use the Aguila 60 grain bullets, and you'll drop them in one shot easily.

You ever tried coon?

No, insert coons to any question the answer is no

Or just feed soy beans

If you try the fly bait make sure that only raccoons can get to it. Any animal will drink it. It will kill anything, even you. Don't breathe the fumes. I've heard raccoons don't make it 5 feet before they take a dirt nap.
