can buy a set of extensions on the Moultrie site for cheap if you don’t want to make them

Either EMT conduit or galvanized pipe. T-posts driven beside the legs with U-bolts around both keeps them from being turned over.
I have to do the T-post trick with my stand & fills or the bears turn them over.
what size emt ??

what size emt ?? Just large enough for the Moultrie leg to slip into. Drill through about 8" down from the top end, run a 1/4" bolt through with a nylock nut to keep it from sliding too far down, or drill through both the leg and the EMT and through bolt both. T-post beside the EMT with the U-bolt will keep the hogs from turning it over. You can also add a long piece of PVC over both, and it will roll when the hogs rub on it. They will leave it alone because they can't get friction to scratch..

If you have hogs you better get them as high off the ground as possible. Keep them full of corn because if they get low (and lightweight) the hogs will push them over and destroy them like a pinata trying to get the corn out. They will also eventually figure out that they can put their head on the motor and break the QD mount and the corn will pour out.
Put the feeders high and drive T posts into the ground and wire the legs to them. As far as the coons...... just kill them. There are methods to wipe them out quickly.
