How do I stop raccoons from eating most of the feed I put out for deer?

Question
Hello,
still up to date on the shows, just watched no. 300.
I have around 12 to 15 coons eating all the corn and not letting the deer in, how do I get rid of them. I am hunting on Audubon land so I cant trap or shoot.
Help please.
Thanks

Terry,

Thank you for watching GrowingDeer!!

Raccoons can remove most of the feed from feeders and discourage deer and other critters from using the area.  The bird feed companies have spent gads trying to build a feeder that raccoons and squirrels couldn’t use.  They haven’t succeeded yet.  Without being able to trap the raccoons I’m not aware of any system that keeps raccoons away for an extended period of time.

Enjoy creation,
