    Raccoons getting my feeder help?

    Bears are hard on feeders. Raccoons can be too, but bears will destroy them. I hang mine between two trees. I tie to one tree and sling a pulley on the other put the feeder in the middle. With the pulley on one end run the rope thru it and put feeder in the middle. That way you can raise it...
