Coons are a problem around feeders and corn baited hog traps. The woods are full of coons and the longer the feeder is in place the more and more coons will find it and come every day/night. The coon masses will eat more corn than any other woods critter. The only way to address the problem is to remove it. A 22 rifle works very well but only works when you are standing there and see the coons. The other 23 hours and xx minutes of the day and night when you are not there the coons eat like they are at a buffet.
Traps are very effective for reducing the coon problem. The small coon traps called Coon Cuffs, Little Grissly, etc. style traps are not too expensive (about $20 each), are easy to set, and work well. Put five traps out, bait them with marshmellows or sardines, and you will likely catch 4 or 5 coons each night until the population is greatly reduced. You might be able to find a local trapper that will come and take the coons out for you.
Good luck.
