I've found that live traps baited with a can of catfood that has holes punched in it works well, and unless you drive the 'coons over 20 miles away they WILL find their way back to the buffet. I usually use the live traps to hold them until I can see how allergic they are to lead.

Option 2 would be an electric fence around the feeder only. But, I don't know how well it would work if the feeder is setting on wood - it might be enough insulation for the electric fence to not be effective.
