Am I the only one who's feeder keeps getting wrecked by raccoons at night?

Last week I woke up to find my tube feeder snapped clean off the hook, seed everywhere on the ground. I've tried bringing it in at dusk for 3 days straight but forgot one night and the same thing happened again. This is the third feeder I've lost in the last month, it's getting expensive. Anyone got a cheap trick to keep these critters off?

Honestly I think the raccoons doing their thing is kind of part of having a feeder. Like yeah it sucks when they break stuff, but they're just hungry animals doing what they do. Maybe just get a sturdier metal feeder or one of those baffles that spins them off? Cost a bit more but you won't have to keep replacing cheap plastic ones.

@jadep41 Exactly. Raccoons gonna raccoon, just get better gear.
