Raccoons emptying my corn feeder

If it's a Moultrie feeder, the metal cage that goes around the bottom works pretty well. If you can add a solar panel, they have a feeder motor that will shock the little bastards too. I've tried shark teeth on the legs before, and they only worked for a little while till they figured out how to get around them.

What is the feeder on? pole? 4x4 timber?

I smeared axle grease on the legs of mine. It seems to work. I don’t think it’s because they can’t climb it necessarily but that the raccoons don’t like it on their feet.

Get a tub of bearing grease. They can't climb up it and they also hate to get it on their paws. It doesn't bother the deer

The shark teeth work OK for us. They are very smart animals. Nothing is completely going to stop them aside from gunfire or traps.

I have had good luck with some 4 inch pvc around the legs of the feeder. They can spin freely so that probably helps.

2-3 foot traps and sardines. I have no more issues with coons. I run my corn year round and also run my trail camera year round, as soon as I have a coon on camera I go set the traps and make them disappear.

I put 4" pvc and rubbed it down with Vaseline. Cut the pvc in sections so each section can spin and attached 1 piece to the top with a piece of wire so it can spin also in case they get past the pieces on the bottom.

That thing looks like something Luke Skywalker's uncle was might have used on his farm.

We had a lot of damage from raccoons and started using axel grease on the top third of the posts. You'll see a few smeared foot prints, but after they try once they leave it alone.
Now we're moving on to the bear problems, that's another story so far.

Kill one coon, hang it in the tree!
This acts as a deterrent to other coons!!
