I know there is some very intelligent folks here so I thought I would ask. How can we feed the wild turkeys and not all the racoon's and deer?
Cheers Don.

Cheers Don. Catch 'em, put 'em in a pen and then feed them.  I don't know of any turkey food that coons and deer won't eat.

Build your turkey feeder on a platform about 3' off ground and platform large enough for barrel to be too far for deer to reach, but only sure way to not feed coons is to trap and get rid of them. Look at last page https://tpwd.texas.gov/publications/pwdpubs/media/pwd_lf_w7000_0053.pdfhttps://www.amazon.com/Duke-DUKE-DP-Coon-Trap/dp/B005KW3AY6We use milo only in our turkey feeders, and don't have much issue with deer. They will stop by, but not stay long. We do however huge a huge issue with wild pigs. Best way to combat pigs, for those that have to deal with them, is place feeder on a 4'x4' cattle panel and put AT LEAST 3 t-post around barrel, and make feeding holes small enough they can't get their greed snout thru.
