peachgrower, did you ever get your TH hanging feeder? I have one. Took some doing to get it raccoon proof but it's going now. It does drop quite a bit of food straight down but I live with it. I have two baffles off and a third one bent out about 45� to help with the problem. I'm feeding 2 seconds a day and going through about 50 pounds a month. Does this sound right to anyone who owns one?
