But TH with confidence. I don't believe design allows for coons to reach in and get food never had an issue and I have legions of them.
I agree with TJ.
I have found them on top but never seen them get any feed out.
I've had two TH feeders out for months amid coons, birds, and dogs without any problems whatsoever. Very reliable. Only possible problem might be if feeder was too far from water so that some feed spilled on ground, but if you are within 5 feet or so I don't see it happening.
