I don't lease for deer hunting but have a fair sized ranch in the brush country. At any given time we have 14 to 15 - 2000lb. protein feeders that are free choice feeders and quite a few corn feeders of the 600 lb capacity that are timed feeders. I have pictures of coons grazing at each. I use Dukes traps to catch them. Believe me they are there and you just don't see them. If you like I can measure height and PM you that info.

You should look into coon hoods. I seen lots of great reviews on them.

krieghoff,

I've had a demand feeder out at a lease before, on a T-post, and the opening was only a couple of feet above the ground. Maybe the coons and hogs were getting to it, but every time on was in my blind, there were lots of deer at the feeder.

Krieghoff,

Yeah, I would appreciate that. I moved the opening up to about 36" off the ground today, but I don't know if that's enough.
