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.
