I had one behind the house for a year or two. The deer had no issue with eating out of the trays. The coins and squirrels would eat what was dropped on the ground.

They work fine, but you’ll have to kill the coons. I have 3-4 like it and they all get used by bucks. Straight corn, no mixes in them or they will clog.

I got one like that. Big bucks will eat from it as stated. I set 1-2 DP traps near each feeder. Catch a bunch of coons!
Don't blame me for your bad decision-

I've got that same feeder and they will eat from it no problem. As others have said, the coons can put a hurting on it and we end up having the same group of young deer coming to the feeder a few times a day. This year I'm going to go with the 720 lb timed feeder from Academy. I can get 2 of them and fill them up at the beginning of the season and hopefully not have to fill them back up again until the season is over. Deer can eat 200 lbs in a gravity feeder pretty quick so I'm hoping this is more affordable in the longrun https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/ga...E&gclsrc=aw.ds#repChildCatid=8437509

It takes them a while to get used to it. When it runs out the coons will eat or try to claw through the top next to the clamp. Same problem I had a few years ago. I don’t let them run out anymore.
Workin for the man, huntin when I can.
