I have the Banks feeder and I put a 6 in pvc pipe over the 4x4 to keep the squirrels and coons out. Welcome to the baiting club LLC!
I just bought a Banks feeder. I have a buddy that uses it and likes it. Putting it out this week but I mainly wanted it to feed protein because I use troughs mainly and wanted to try it because I had heard good things about them. My buddy said it only clogged once when we just had the hurricane.LOL. We don't hunt over it. Only feed protein from late April to about mid August once antlers are finished growing.

You’re not alone brother! ; )Boy I like those Double D's.
I willKeep us posted on how it works. I know AC really likes his.
I have a banks 4 port...it took the deer here approximately 6 months before I ever saw 1 actually eat from a port on camera. It was over a month before I got a single deer picture at it so be aware it may take some time for them to fully utilize it...
Now my problem is I can’t keep corn on it. 300 lbs every 3-4 days...

I know you guys have bears. How do you keep bear out of them. No way would one survive more than a few wks here.Another vote for the banks feed bank. Works flawless so far no feed issues. Did great at first when I was using a corn pellet mix to get them started on the pellets
I have 2 banks feeders....think they hold 300 lbs. Hogs got so bad I quit using them. They loosened a wing nut from feed port and spilled out 200 lbs of corn. (Like the idea of wood screws Triple C). The hogs were not tall enough to feed at the manufacturers recommend height, so they would step on another hogs back and feed while standing. I raised them up 4 more inches. The higher they are the easier it is for a hog to bump the 4*4 and spill corn out. They actually have begun to damage the ports themselves.
Overall it's a solid feeder, the hogs are just relentless animals. I haven't baited during the season, but this winter my last attempt will be to put some serious hog fencing up. Maybe 24/36 inches. Maybe a 10 foot radius.
Squirrels are not a problem where I am.
I got 3 preggos going to a feeder I am going to try to get this evening before they drop.Dang, I sure would like to help some of y'all with your hog problems.
