I like my spin tech 300lb feeder.
All galvanized, solar powered, internal motor. As it spins, the plate lowers to throw corn. Coons can't get on it and paw out corn. It works well. I've had it for about 4 years and have only had to change the battery. It throws every day of the year. Solar panel works great.

Good lord. I assume you're hunting in Saskatchewan. Even if they made a feeder designed for huge deer like that, you still wouldn't be able to keep the smaller ones out of it.

The Treeline 350lb metal feeder at Tractor Supply, almost identical to the Outcast 350lb feeder at Cabela’s. I got the Outcast last summer (only because I had some unused gift cards) to replace a Moultrie feeder I had which bit the dust after being tackled by a big hog for the last time. Love it. Tough, sturdy, no more coon or hog problems. It’s been really good this hunting season.

If you have a Buc-ee's nearby they sell a nice feeder.

How do these feeders hold up to bears?

If you are looking for a gravity feeder, build one out of a 55 gallon drum. I tried spin feeders for 2 years, and the deer are just deathly terrified of them

The bottom pic looks like non deer aren’t terrified either.

Imagine the backstraps on that big ol baw.

Avoid Moultrie at all costs. I have 4 of the “new” motors and timers. Absolute garbage. More than half of my hunts this year the feeders didn’t go off. Chews up batteries, clogs or just won’t spin constantly. friends have the spincast and they like them a lot.

If you want to supplemental feed, I'd suggest either a Boss Buck or Banks Outdoors. Both are gravity feeders.
Do you have hogs or bears?
Need some more context as it's more of a prescription to what you have on the property

No bears but do have hogs. Hunt near Merryville and hunting a lane that no one has hunted for 3-4 years. Little deer activity this year,
Corn on the ground in a pen during season looking to periodically put corn out throughout year to see if activity will pick up as other areas of lease have quite a bit of activity. I’ve only deer hunted 1 year so just going off recommendations of hunters with more experience.

I’d put a gravity feeder in an enclosure about 30 ft in diameter.
Use t posts and welded wire fencing about 36” tall.
Use a t posts every 5 ft.
It’ll be sturdy as hell and last a long time.
Place it on the EDGE of a food plot or in the woods and put a stealth cam 360 on one of the t posts.
Fill with protein in the stress months and corn during times where there’s lots of browse in the woods.
This will keep hogs away from your field and feeder. Which in turn will increase deer sightings.

I can’t. I’ll never buy anything under 600 lbs ever again.
I like Lamco low and throw 600 lbs. I’ve got a few ASF 600 lb feeders but switched to the lamco’s recently.
