New approach to massive COON PROBLEM

Very cool! Now they just need to do a spellcheck on "protein".

Haha I saw this right after finishing the video.. I just was too lazy to fix it and go through all the converting and what not and just hoped no one would notice.. THanks a lot !!

That's a very cool concept and it will work BUT that sheet metal those thing are made of wouldn't not last on our place.. We have a few VERY big, strong, and destructive coons that would eventually get frustrated and destroy that hood..

We shall see. I’m going to put a GC on on it on video mode from day one and see what transpires. I am in no way affiliated with the company and if it gets torn up then I will post those results. I have a pure coon infestation and about 25 coons that are used to eating protein 24-7... This should be a good litmus test to the functionality and durability of this product. If it works, then SWEET, and if not, then oh well, but the results will be posted on this thread and will be true and honest as to what my findings are.

If the coons wanted to they could jump around on it for months on end and maybe something would eventually give, however, from what we have seen, they try to get to the feed the first few days then realize it aint worth it and give up..

Sorry man, I do the final review of documents for a medical device company. I get paid to notice stuff like that!!

We don't have a model yet but I think It could be done. do they all have the timer box or are any of them free flow?

I got a chance to meet the guys at the Coonhood booth at Hunter's Extravaganza in San Antonio. Cool guys and a really neat product!

[TXBRASS]

How much do they cost? I have a texas hunter ez fill, and they stand on the ground and can barely reach the feed.

I spoke in detail with the owner and I was considering buying a new feeder before I was told that custom hoods could be made to fit my current feeder. Prices varied between $50-$90 each hood, depending on which feeder it was made for. If they work as advertised, I should make up the money in wasted feed, in just a couple feeder fills. We shall see what happens....

It's a great idea and I don't see how it wouldn't work and save us a bunch of money. I'll order a set to try.

No, mine don't have the timer box, but are shaped the same way.

Working as advertised! Great Product!! Coons don't hardly bother anymore.

New approach to massive COON PROBLEM

Got home to find my box of CoonHoods had arrived!
Got them unpacked and construction looks good. The springs used were more heavy duty than I had expected and anytime that’s the case it makes me smile.
If I had to pick both a positive and a negative aspect to review upon first impressions, here’s what they would be:

POSITIVE: They look to be very strong and the way the sheet metal is bent and welded makes me believe they will stand the test of time. It looks as if all the parts as well as metal used could have been built out of smaller/thinner components but the company decided to go bigger/thicker and that’s an attribute that I respect and look for in anything I buy.
I also want to say that this set of CoonHoods was custom made for my homemade feeder. That options opens up this product for just about anyone, at least while they are still small enough to take on individual jobs like that.

NEGATIVE: I would say that the paint used looks thin and not well adhered. Looks as if the sheet metal used may be slick galvanized so that would make sense. Most people wouldn’t give this a second thought, but I’m a paint guy and will probably wipe them down with acetone and shoot them with a rattle can of self-etching primer/paint. Other than that, I have zero negative things to say about the product at first glance.

I still have a few weeks before we head west to fill feeders, but will be installing them with 2 game cameras (one on pic mode and one on video) pointed their way.
I’m hoping this is the solution to my coon issues for good. Time will tell.

I will be reviewing how easy they are to install, to get set right, and then obviously how they perform on the feeder.

Deer have no problem getting adjusted to the coon hoods. Started feeding protein about 3 weeks ago and Coons don’t bother climbing on feeder anymore. Very rarely see coons on camera also. I’m a very happy customer!!
