stopped coons from eating deer food

i built this feeder especially for sweet feed- coons were robbing me and the deer. its gravity fed with special internal gadget that distributes the type of feed you are using. this works with sweet feed because i use the type that don't gum up the works. too much molasses will gum up. i ordered the lower unit and funnel. the feeder tubes are 40 inches off ground and the legs have ''sharks teeth'' coons can't climb. built this for just over $100 bucks and it will pay for itself in savings.

here is link to build or buy one of these-> http://www.bossbuck.com/products/low...lowerunit.html
the feed doesn't fall on ground because there is lip on each tube-- and i do have bears so i'm hoping the sharks teeth will keep them from turning it over. here is better picture before i installed the teeth-> http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/000_0204.jpg

I cain't afford them new-fangled methods of de-cooning a corn feeder. I use a more conventional method.

The construction term for those "shark teeth" is mending plates.
