        Can't say enough good things about dukes dog proof traps. I caught five last night out of eight traps but as big as your place is. You could run 60 traps year round. You are correct though. It's a never ending battle kill 50 and 75 will take their place.

          I am learning very quickly that feeding corn and protein year round isn't enough to grow big bucks.

          It requires time, dedication, passion, knowledge and the most important part "heart".

            Here is the latest scheme to thwart the coons. Wrapped roof flashing from top of spout to bottom of feeder. No place for a coon to sit. Camera is out and if this works will set up shop and do all the feeders.

            Would love to take credit for this idea but actually another TBH er gave me the idea by using a 5 gal bucket on top of his feeders. Green screen to the rescue

            Feeding 1 1/2 tons a week now so anything to slow coons down is considered.

                  It will also kill everything that eats those dead coons and varmits. Buzzards, Coyotes, Hawks, Hogs, etc. It is some bad stuff. I wouldn't suggest using it for anything other than flys.

                    Very familiar with golden malarin. Been fighting the battle with that for several years. Hard to win. My strategy is to 'coon proof' the feeders to solve the problem. The coons then can live on nuts and berries!

                            well that all sounds good to me lol
                            i always had a guy remove the bodies the next day and put them in the ground. Trust me i was scared that the deer would get in it but they never did. If you want to be safe and can be there everyday then i would use the dog proof coon trap. We have had great results with that when we were there. But nothing comes close to the golden malrin in wiping out the population quickly.
