Help with pests!!
Hello everyone! This is my 1st post and need a lil help. I need a good way to keep raccoons off my trough feeder. They are everywhere!! Out of 869 pics in 6 days, 800 of em were coons and there were 16 in a few of the pics I had! The other 69 were hogs. Any help would be appreciated. And I hope I put this in the correct forum.

Start shooting them, as I don't know how you could varmint proof that type of feeder if I know what you're talking about. They aren't even legal here in MI. EDIT: My mistake for not also saying to make sure you obey all the laws where you live. I wish I was young again with our two coon hounds to help you with that problem, as you have a heck of a surplus crop there!

I used to have a coon problem as well, so the next summer I started putting 3 cage traps out & checked them every 2 days. I tried a can of tuna, sardines, etc. The bait that worked the best was a small powdered donut. Caught them every time!
