Check out our interview with Haden Popnoe, the owner of CoonHood!
What is CoonHood?
Coonhood is an innovative device used to prevent raccoons, along with other varmints, from accessing protein in chute-style feeders.
The patent pending design allows the unwanted animal’s weight to lower the hood blocking access to the feed.
When no varmints are present, the hood remains in the upright neutral position which allows the larger intended animals to eat freely.
The bucks have no problem getting to the protein and the hoods are added protection against the rain. Get you some!
Why CoonHood?
With CoonHoods protecting your protein you will save money on your feed bill as well as reduce the amount of travel time required to keep your feeders filled.
When the intended game is the only thing eating from your feeders, you will be able to keep better track of your game and their consumption, which will make your wildlife operation more efficient and easier to manage.
I need to spend a couple hundred $ per feeder, are CoonHoods really worth it?
You must answer this question. To do so look at your game camera. Do you have coons stealing from your feeder? Estimate how much money you spend a month on protein, and calculate 25% of that cost.
Consider how long it would actually take for the CoonHoods to pay for themselves (If you have a severe coon problem calculate 40%). Most of you will find that within the first 3 months CoonHoods pay for themselves. Now consider the savings over a 5 to 10 year period. Not yet convinced?
Consider how much time and effort you spend picking up feed, driving out to the lease, and filling your feeders. Not to mention, setting traps, checking traps, and/or hunting coons. Now ask yourself, can you afford not to invest in CoonHoods?
How do you install CoonHoods?
Coonhoods are designed specifically to fit your feeder. Each CoonHood bolts on easily in a matter of minutes. No alterations or modifications are needed to your existing feeder.
Installation of the 2 way head depends on your feeder and may require modification of your existing feeder or removal of the existing head. If existing bolt pattern is known let us know upon delivery and we can customize your flange free of charge!
