Ideas on how to hog proof a feeder

Me and my brother have a couple feeders on our club just for hogs and we have not had any problems till 3 weeks ago. One stopped working and a good boar hog took it upon himself to break off the controller box and let all the corn run out. Well we fixed it a week later and killed one boar off it and a few days later it happened to the same feeder. Well when I got up this morning I realized that the other feeder had been tore up last night as well. We have Tpost drove down by each legs and tied off to prevent them turning over and thought it was already big enough that they wouldn't mess with the box

Get one that hangs by a cable and winch. You just need a good size limb to hang it from.

Foot pad from Boss Buck with t-post driven though to secure to ground. For pad bolts directly to legs. 2017/18 season had three spin feeders almost completely destroyed. Installed these four pads and had no issues since.

We already have Tpost drove down by each leg then strapped to the leg with hose clamps. We added another section of legs to them this past weekend.
