solved all my problems..now gotta take care of squirrels

Get a live trap (or 10) and bait with marshmallows. In the morning, shoot coons in head with a .22. Dump dead coons. Repeat.

This is the answer--or if you are close enough to check frequently, use a Conibear cubby like this one baited with banana flavored moon pies.

I have a big problem, but managed to shoot one of them on Saturday night. Still need to find a solution that works when I'm not there. Not sure how I feel about grease.

Yes these are deadly

Cages work but they have to be far enough from the plate that the little devils can't stretch that foreleg in there and spin it while hanging on the cage--either from the side or bottom.

How long does it take the deer to get used to the grease smell?

they were there the next day didnt seem to bother them i used marine grease
all of my TC pics none of the animals seem to mind couple of coons tried to climb but stopped at the grease they are very clean animals dont like to get there feet dirty same with squirrels

Thinking about rigging an electric fence around it some way and using a solar charger. Anyone ever try something like that?

looks like i have found what will keep coons from climbing my feeders. bought some tanglefoot from ace hardware and applied it to my feeder legs about 3 weeks ago. had a couple try to climb, but they quit. no coons AT ALL climbing my feeders. all they do is eat from the ground like all the other animals.

Whats tanglefoot ?

[pistolpete]

its something used on trees that keeps ants and such from climbing the trees. its a natural based really sticky, jelly like substance. its been on for 3 weeks or so and still as soft and sticky as the day i put it on.

I put my little 17hmr to use when I was at the lease and thinned out the population a little bit

I just put an electric fence around the timer/spinner. It's been up for about 10-12 years now. I have 0 coon issues.

We have added some lenghts of 4" PVC pipe sleeves to the legs of our feeders. They are wired at the top of the feeder leg. Have some cameras out on the feeders to see if they are working.
