Well I run some feeders year around down here for hogs & what you need to get is a Sun Slinger, just bolt it to your 40 gal can & its good to go for years.
I've got one in the woods rightt now that has 5 years going on it without any issues, just add corn. http://www.amazon.com/American-Hunter-Slinger-Feeder-Charger/dp/B000FGWQ9W/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395349274&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=sunslionger |

We use tripod spin feeders for corn and gravity fed for protein. The protein is year round and the corn is from about September thru January.

Winch them from a tree. Where is your property? Bears could be a problem, and they will go to great lengths to knock that feeder over.

My 4400 acre lease is in Townsend Ga by Ft Stewart and there are bears there.

I hate bears man. I have never had a problem with them but my buddy had 3 feeders destroyed on a lease in Bay County and another down in Collier County. I am ever weary of feeders these days, but my last lease in Glades County we didn't have a problem for some reason. Only way to find out is to start with a tripod setup, and setup a camera looking over it.

In bear country I would cement two metal poles in the ground with a thin solid metal bar in between with the feeder hanging from that. Make sure it is high enough that even the tallest bear can not get a claw into it. The bear will eat every morsel of feed that drops.
A friend did a feeder hanging from a 4x4 buried in about 3' of soil and a bear pushed it over. He than cemented it in and the bear still pushed it over. |

I use tripods with squirrel guards. I also wrap the battery compartments with pipe insulation for extended life.

I just built a wooden table feeder and had a bear tear the legs off. My camera batteries were dead. No pics.
