Is there a way to keep coons out of pipe feeders?

Or would it be better to plant food plot and mineral hot spots? I plan on getting a barrel feeder with timer and spreader in the offseason for cheap. I got 4 coons that are killing my pipe feeder. every night they are there for hours. Deer coming in regular as well but damn lol.

I have been feeding about 10 Boone and Crockett sizes coons myself. Can’t think of any way besides trapping/shooting them to keep them from the corn. They scatter quick when the hogs show up

Make up a batch of coon grease. Mix 1 large jar of vaseline, 1 bottle red pepper flakes, and 1 bottle cayenne pepper. Use latex gloves and smear it all over/around the feeder and below feeder however you have it mounted. The coon will get the grease on his paws, he licks/eats it off his paws to remove it and the pepper lights him up. You may have to refresh it from time to time, but it works and is cheap coon prevention. Later on when you get a tripod feeder, smear it on the legs.

Is it legal to poison raccoons?

I’ve heard that marlin fly bait mixed with coke in bowl will wipe them out, but I’m pretty sure that would be against the law.

A couple of dog proof traps and a can of tuna and those coons are gone.

Will that work on bears too?

question of the coon grease - it may work for the coons but what will the hogs do to the tripod- you know they will try the grease- any experience ???

100% guaranteed method is to remove all corn and fill the feeder with rocks. Works every time.

I prefer to mix with a can of tuna and a bit of strawberry cola, they will not make it 5 feet.
One bowl full will solve all your problems

As far as I know it is not legal to poison raccoons. I don't hunt in an area yet with bears or hogs, so only know the coon grease works on coons. That being said, bear spray is a real strong cayenne pepper spray. No matter the animal, coons, bears, or hogs, I'd say the cayenne pepper should burn their mouths. Again its cheap ingredients at walmart. Buy the equate brand vaseline, cayenne pepper, and pepper flakes. I know dollat general sells the pepper flakes for $1 a bottle, and the petroleum jelly for like $2.00 for a large jar. DG doesn't carry the cayenne powder though. If trying to deter hogs and bears then I'd double the amount of the cayenne powder, by using two bottles. It's cheap enough. So a large jar vaseline, 1 bottle pepper flakes, and 2 bottles cayenne pepper. I combine/mix in an old cool whip bowl just be sure when mixing and applying you use latex gloves.
