What are the best ways to keep coon off protein

[BIGTERRY75]

High fence surrounded by low fence. Coons are killing us right now. Tearing up corn feeders and raking mounds of protein out on the ground.

What have you guys done for trapping?

Duke coon trap!!

The only way to "keep" coons of the feeders is to manage the problem...trap and/or kill as many coons till they are not a problem.

If I only knew

Kill as many by any means necessary!

Trap and shoot is your only option.

Use the search function. Been discussed many times before.

search!!!

But trap is best option.

I never had success with killing / trapping. Like dipping the ocean here in La. Best bet is to coon proof your feeders then problem solved forever. There are ways depending on what type feeder you have. Send pics of your feeder and we can discuss methods.

Best way to keep them off is if they aren't there.

If we could make coon hides worth $50 each the problem would solve itself in a year or two.

I agree with the above, trapping coons is like trapping hogs, you'll see some success but will be a never ending battle.

If you can coon proof a protein feeder, I'd like to hear about it.

My other suggestion which has worked but has it's downside is to install a timer cutting off the flow of protein at night.

We have coon proofed several different models of gravity protein feeders. Cheap and easy. Send pics and I'll show what we've done.

The only way I know to control them, is to kill them...I'm going to have a coon shoot for a month on our place. Each member will put up $20 dollars and they can pick one weekend in that month and the member that kills the most on the weekend they choose will take home the money....
