I have never tried soured corn...I always just use a 50/50 mix of shelled corn and dog food. I add either grape or black raspberry Kool Aid powder to it. The shelled corn just keeps it moving in the feeder. They will eat some of it but you can tell if the feeder has been hit the night before, there will usually be some shelled corn on the ground. They pull a bunch of food out and mostly eat the dog food.

Cheap dog food if you can find such a thing. I buy the $15 bag at tractor supply.

Another thing we do is go to the day old bakery. We can get a bunch of bread and old sweet stuff and mix it together for around $7.00 you can feed them for a while.

I have never soured my corn

Dig a hole bury a 5 gal bucket leave about 3 inches of bucket above the ground, fill the bucket to within a couple inches of top of bucket with corn pour about half of a 5 lb bag of sugar on it and 6 or 8 small bags of grape cool aid on it and top it off with water take 2 one gallon milk jugs of water or dip it from a creek

Draw every coon for 2 mile.

When I did use a feeder, mainly to keep coons hanging around to live trap for pups and such, I got an old truck tire (still on the rim) and cut about 5 holes around one sidewall. (Holes were about 2 inches square.)

Funneled corn in the holes to fill tire about 1/2 full, then took a 5 gallon bucket and filled with water and a couple packs Kool-Aid, stirred it up a poured water in ones of the holes.

When it starts fermenting, it draws in the coons.

My small acreage is too close to the hiway to turn a dog loose to run a coon, so I only use the feeder occasionally for trapping purposes.

I have one spot with feeders just for the pups. Has a run off stream and a small creek branch, I put corn in the puddles of the run off and have two buckets with record rack golden deer nuggets. Used to use it for deer but coons would eat it first so just started puttin it in buckets. Works great!

I have just poured corn into a hole full of water, the coons find it and go crazy over it. I've even had them to try and dig through the ice in the winter to get to the corn.

I like that ideal about buring the bucket but we have hogs. Any suggestions on how to get coon in but keep the hogs out? I used to get free dog food. I put it in 5 gallon buckets with a hole and just hung them or tied them to a tree.

You can keep hogs out if you build a platform up off the ground about 5 foot and set feeder up there on it.

I hang mine up in the trees and put whole corn in them. These feeders will hold 40lbs of corn. After I get em tied up in the tree, I'll take a bottle of corn syrup and make a scent trail from a creek to the tree and then to the bucket.
Hogs are to bad around here to keep it on the ground! Learned my lesson there!

These feeders have a choretime chicken house feed pan attached to the bottom of the pipe.

Little Debbie cakes work good to get things going around a feeder.

I put out 4 feeders this summer, using horse / cattle feed I have 1 that's empty (5 gal. Bucket) every 2 days, I don't have a trail cam. But how many coon do you think it would take to eat that much in 2 days?

I use corn and dry cat food from the dollar store mixed together, coons love it...I sit my buckets on the ground next to a tree or log and securely tie them...I've tried hanging them but the pups want to tree the feeder worse when they're hanging. ..
