I have trail cam video of them keeping the deer away from the food.
Thanks for the confirmation, esshup. I only run pics, but have seen many shots where it appeared that raccoons were keeping does away from the feed. I also have pics where it appeared that a buck arrived and was driving off the raccoons.
Judging by their girth, the raccoons are eating a significant portion of my feed. I have checked my state's (Kansas) regulations for eliminating them by various means, but I cannot find any clear rules.
What is effective for you? Do you think you are making a significant reduction in the population to justify your effort?
