I am running a feeder where it is legal and don’t mind feeding the raccoons and squirrels with the corn. What I am having trouble with is the dang things are climbing the poles and either spinning the plate or raking corn out for their buddies waiting on the ground. is so bad. I normally will throw 3 pounds a day, and fill 150 pounds at a time. Easy math is 50 days between refills. I went through the entire 150 pounds of corn in 30 days. I have tons of pics of both climbing the poles and hanging on the feeder motor with their hand in the funnel and their buddies waiting on the ground.

I have an agreement with landowner not to use gun on land so I can’t snipe them with my 22, plus the raccoons are coming out at night.

How can I help curb the pole dancing, corn thieving, bandits?

Thank you,
