Feeding Apples
 

I'd like some peoples opinions on a method I thought of for feeding deer apples. I've been having a lot of problems with coons and porcupines eating my apples before the deer get to them. I've fed a truckload of apples and most were taking by 5 coons and 1 porcupine. I had a huge 10 point and 9 point coming into my apples but if there isn't always apples for them they stay away for a few days until I get more out but the the coons eat them before the deer get any. The method I thought of was hanging a hockey net about 4' off the ground and filling it with the apples. I know a lady that feeds her horses this way and they seem to have no problems eating through the holes. I would really appreciate any thoughts on this idea because I'm tired of feeding the coons. Thanks for everybody's time in advance. Matt

Truck load? Thems some big coons......
 

You do know that coons have thumbs right?

Trap the coons

lol yes truckload of apples. ive got a 10 point, 9 point and a 4 point eating them too but the 5 coons eat the majority of them.

i could but i don't get to my feed pile everyday and i wouldn't be able to get them out soon enough. I've started looking into a .17 HMR and sit out one night but don't really have the time for that either

Bucks...
 

No babies, does, or spikes?

ive had i think only 3 videos of does and my camera has been out for a little over a month now

shoot the coon. coon makes a fine meal.

whaaaaaa you really eat those greasy things? my hunting dogs won't even eat them. don't you think the hockey net idea would work?
