Thanks Bryan.
I was afraid the raccoons would be undeterred by any type of "moat" protecting the duck boxes!
Are your disk blades just smooth enough that the coons can't pull themselves on top of the disk to continue climbing the pole?
I've heard that putting Petroleum Jelly or similar products on the pole discourages coons. A mean person might even mix in a little Tabasco sauce to reinforce the lesson, but I'm sure nobody here is mean.
I frequently see hundreds of raccoon tracks at the edge of my creek where they have been eating crayfish and clams.
If I supplied them with some Tabasco, I am worried I would go down to the creek one evening and see huge steaming stainless steel pots while the raccoons were cooking their etouffee!
