Tracy, I built a couple of hanging feeders last year. I hung them one on a branch near the house and jammed a metal bucket on top. I figured the coons couldn�t bother it. Wrong! Cam showed 6 coon on an around it. I have no idea how they got the bucket off the top when I figured they couldn�t get any leverage. No deer or hog pics, just coons.
6 inch heavy duty pvc pipe. If I try it again I�ll have to figure out how to coon proof it.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
