I don’t see any coons on my Boss Buck tripod style feeder.
But I did put PVC pieces on each leg. |

Mine is 42" from ground to bottom of tube. Occasionally a big hog can still rear up an reach it but he usually will just cause it to spill some on the ground.

Mines 42” to bottom of tubes and mature deer look like giraffes trying to eat from it. I get very little usage.
I’m dropping to 38” next week and lower if needed |

Coons can reach this one that belongs to a good friend of mine. I have the same one. We’re going to dig down about a foot or so in the red area. Another pic for height reference. I think it’s 36-38”.

You can see at 42” just how small a deer really is. They have ate less than 20# in over a month and there a deer there almost daily
I set some 6” pvc feeders at 40”.... untouched for 3 weeks. Dropped to 35 or so, can’t keep em full |

Depends what the size of deer your feeding are? 120 or 200 Lb. 39 4/8 is a good height

Man, some raccoons verticals will surprise you...
I had one set up almost 4 feet off the ground. I am pretty sure the coons repelled down from the branch it was hanging on and feasted. |
