The only trailer hitch that will fit your 2016 Subaru Impreza Wagon that's rated high enough for a cargo carrier with a deer on it is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class III # 76084. It has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 525 pounds which will plenty for you. We don't have any pictures of it on an Impreza so I don't know how hidden it will be but it's coated with a black powder finish over an e-coat finish for rust protection.

The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 is one of the largest carriers we offer at 20 by 59 inches. It will carry up to 500 pounds and will fold up out of the way when not in use.

Before you purchase you should check the carrying capacities of your. You will be limited by the lowest rated component out of the vehicle, the hitch, and the carrier. The carrier itself weighs approximately 70 pounds so you need to make sure you can carry over 270 pounds once you put the 200 pound deer on it.
