As I said earlier, it's a 30 mile/ 45 minute drive from here and I don't have the time to spare running up here every morning and evening to check traps

The PVC might work, but there aren't any trees close
That’s a easy fix if there’s no trees. A couple 4x4, 6x6, some old power poles shove them in the ground instan suspension. Im not sure where you’re located if you have bears just make sure to use a couple bags of quickrete and put them at least 2 foot deep and 10’ apart on the poles.
Also on the pvc sleeves get the bottom of the pipe 10-12 inches off the ground. That can be done several ways. Have used short sections of light chain and suspended the pipe from the top of the feeder. You can also just use something at the bottom to keep the pipe off the ground.

THAT sounds like a great idea.

Form a sheet metal funnel around the pole. Look at ships in port, the lines that secure the ship to the dock have a funnel on the line. This keeps rats from climbing the line and getting in the ship. Square or round it doesn't matter, if its square nail it if its round use a hose clamp or duct tape. Have the metal stick out on a downward angle about 8" long. This will work for any climbing critter and its cheap.
Another solution is the trap they use for beaver, a body trap. It kills the critter quickly and you can leave its body there to show his buddies what happens when the mess with your stuff.
