PVC pipe over legs with a screw to keep it from sliding down it will spin keeping them from climbing up the legs

I never saw a dead coon climb a feeder leg. So I agree with Central Texas Hog Traps,

lots of koon traps, and lots of trapping and shooting. I had the same problem on one place, took off over 40 in a month and a half and that was with what steel jaw trap, and one box trap, and i shot 4 while i was out there some evenings.

Don't have a spinner. It is eat at their will for the deer and hopefully not the raccoons.

True. Haven't put the protein feeder out yet but they are all over my corn feeder. Putting it out tomorrow. We'll see. Put PVC on the legs as recommended.

Use spray setting for feeder and stream setting for all other areas. Apply 0.10 oz. (approximately 3 full trigger sprays) per square foot. Reapply every 7 to 10 days.

try wheel bearing grease too. 'Coons are notoriously "clean" animals and once they get that stuff all over their fur they'll be too d@mn mad to try it again. If you think I'm crazy try shampooing your hair with the stuff then going to work...

Something that my uncle tried at his place is he ducktaped carpet tackstrip to the legs...we came back and there was blood all over the legs from the coons cutting up their feet. Seems to be working pretty good. We also just shoot the hell out of them when we see them.

I made the PVC for the legs and put it out. Haven't been back yet. Should be out there weekend after Easter. We'll see what happened. I like the tack strip idea also.
Keep ideas coming!
