Default RE: Gravity feeder vs. "spreader"

One trick I've seen that you might consider is carpet tack strips taped to the legs and turned out so the coons won't climb it. Your could layer each leg with them and then try to duplicate the camo patern you've got there with some spray paint.

Another trick is to place 3-5" PVC pipes over the legs and sitting on aspike driven through the lower portion of the leg. This allows the pipe to rotate freely and when the coon tries to climb the leg the PVC rotates and spins them off.

Years ago I was told to use white lithium grease on the legs, didn't works- coons still went right up the legs and anytime I was withing 5' of the danged thing I'd manage to get some greese on myself. Must have been some greesy coons running around my woods


If you don't want coons near the house you might consider not feeding them corn in any way shape or form. Put corn out & they will come. It's like yellow crack for coons.
