Coon Feeders

Can someone post some pictures of coon feeders, I need to make a couple. The coon are getting in the the bird feeders and the land owner said he's goin to shoot them, so I figure that if I put out a couple feeders the coon will leave the bird feeder alone?

Just a hole in the ground with corn in it.

Thanks Hobo, It's a good spot for pup training it's just thick with coon. All I can do is try to keep them away from the bird feeders. I would hate to lose coon right at this time of the year with the sows being heavy with kitts.

If you have turkeys in your neck of the woods I would recommend hanging something up in a tree where the turkeys can't get to it easily. When I had feeders out I used a 30 gallon barrel with a hole cut into it and also used buckets with a lid that had two holes for pipes in it.

I tried a 5 gallon bucket on the ground and the deer and turkeys would empty it faster than I could carry corn to it, usually it was gone within a day.

Natural Traits In A Hound

Will help more than using feeders I see/hear of so many experienced trainers/hunters causing problems with young hounds by training them on feeders. I believe a yound hound has the instinct to hunt, strike, tree with a natural ability and using a man made tool is not giving that you hound his best chance of becoming a dog you can or will be proud of. Good luck with she/he but if your breed of hound doesn't have the desire to do it naturally you might want to look for another bloodline or another breed.

Well ............you know what you want and what you have .............by the way do you have a low coon population in the state you live if that is the case I can see why you might need to use those man made feeders, but I hope you would know when to put a stop to it. I will not continue to insult you here and did not intend to at all. A young hound that I wish to train/hunt must pocess these natural traits........1. Desire 2. Hunt. 3. Strike, Trail , Tree........The desire shown by a young hound to hunt, trail and tree and the great feeling it gives one to know you have that special hound that has the abilities to do it the natural way is what I like in a hound. Good luck with what ever you want in a hound

FEEDERS

Will make dogs not want to hunt for a wild raccoon. The dog won't get out of your light. They will want you to walk them to a feeder bucket.

Have you seen anything like this Jeff?

I have found that corn poured into a slow portion of a small creek, like on the backside of a sandbar, is the best "feed bucket" you can use.
There's no unsightly bucket, old tire, etc for the landowner to find and it teaches a young dog to hunt up and down the creek bank which in my area is a good place to hunt up coons (wild or feeder type). You should change where the corn is put out as available, up and down the creek at different locations....

If you have a creek in the woods near this house this should help keep the coons in the woods where they belong and will aid you next time you are starting a pup.

BTW - I live in an area of extremely low coon populations, in 2003 we had a UKC hunt locally with 24 dogs entered in December and NO COONS were scored....Usually a score or +200 or more is a first place win.

Who says you have to walk the dogs right up to the feeder why wouldn't you turn them loose a reasonable distance from the feeder?

I've started getting bread that stores throw away. Break it up into small peices and put in in 55 gallon drums with holes cut in the bottom. Seems to be working good and best of all its free!!! Hunting young dogs on feeders has no effect on them. Its in the dog.Mine will go as far as it takes to get a coon.Sometimes further than I'd like em to and they have been hunted on feeders off and on their whole lives.The dog has to have the hunt and desire to get out and do it!

i see no differance between a corn field and a feed bucket why i use buckets is to keep the coon in an area thats safe to hunt pups i move the feeders every couple of days to keep the pups from getting pattern broke they have to find the coon on there own whether a corn field or a feeder i see no harm from a feeder as i release the pups far enough from the feeders that they must follow the track as if the feeder werent there all it does is keep the coon coming to an area to feed just as all coon do whether it be natural feed or fillrd buckets

I NEVER SAID I WAS GOING TO HUNT DOGS OR PUPS OFF THE FEEDERS! ALL I WANT TO DO IS TO KEEP THE COON AWAY FROM THE BIRD FEEDERS, SO THE LAND OWNER DONT START SHOOTING THEM.
