Ever tried them in a gravy???????

I saw online a couple years back some advertising for electric fenicing that can be set at different heights, such as 8", 18" and 2ft. Different heights for different intruders. Even had videos of hogs trying to get to it, and zapps their azz. Deer simply jump over it.

Chief is right. Them things are bangin in a gravy!!

jchief 07-11-2013 07:05 PM

I have ate them before, BBQ, they weren't bad at all. Either that or I had enough JD in me to not care.

They were good. Got to know how to clean them though. I don't

CaptainBG 07-11-2013 07:41 PM

Just don't reheat after cooking, it will stink

Visit your local farm coop and purchase some sacks of soybeans to replace corn. Deer love the beans and coon problem solved

Feed year around just turn them down, it's only600 ac.so have to keep them on that place got 4 nice bucks still in full velvet, and 15-20 does and fons coming, but we just a one buck only county, so got to keep what you got or they go to the bottom and eat crops

Are they simply eating the food off the ground or are they climbing up onto the feeders.

To stop them from climbing the legs get some carpet tack strips and tie wrap them to the legs of the feeder.

cricket 07-12-2013 07:50 AM

Take Vaseline and coat the legs of feeder. They won't be able to grip the leg to climb or you can resort to poison, worked for me.

can of Crisco and cayenne pepper mixed and coated on legs... enjoy the show

^^^ THIS will keep them off the legs of your feeder... not much you can do about them eating the corn on the ground

I have 3 in 1 trap right now! They have been eating our guys lunches in the lunch tents here at work. We put out traps and got 3 in 1 trap

jopete 07-13-2013 02:01 PM

switch to soybeans or rice bran, no more coons.

and just a tip, when u put out poison,
1. don't tell anybody.
2. stay close so you can hide the bodies. they pile up quick.

I have 5 feeders in texas and the coons were eating me out of house and home and I installed the square varmint cages around the spinner and problem solved.

Put some kind of dissolvable rat poison in a bowl, and add kool-aid. The raccoons will love it, but the deer won't touch it.

Lol 200 cash in my pocket!!, have cages, they either rip them down, or 3-4 hang on them so one can speen the feeder!! I got a new idea for them tho!!! Will have my camera's on video next week cause it's going to be funny!!!

adamsfence 08-15-2013 12:12 AM

they say fly bait and sardines will end them pretty quick.....personally don't know though;)

SGib 08-15-2013 06:01 AM

3in PVC pipe on the feeder legs. Hang with a small chain so it spins a little

I don't know why. A guy my dad works with did this and it worked. Only bad thing was he waited a few days to go back and check, and by the time he got there the 6 dead coons stunk to high heaven!

cricket 08-19-2013 05:05 PM

Go to cal. Parish mosquito control and ask for a bucket of rat poison. It's free. It comes in cake style. Cut a two to three inch hole out the top. Break poison cake into small pieces. Coons can grab poison out the top but deer can't get to it. Just secure bucket to a board or something so it don't tip over. Coons run off and die far away from stand. Problem solved.
