Abstract
Game feeding systems and methods are disclosed for feeding of large, medium, and small game such as bear, deer, and turkey. The system may be provided in a single configuration or configured for conversion between two or more configurations for use with various game. In one configuration, a feeder portion rests on the ground secured to an immovable object such as a tree. In another configuration, a feeder portion is elevated from ground by removable legs. In another configuration, a feeder portion is hung from a fixed overhead structure. A controller manages a spin plate for the distribution of game feed. Game may access feed through access holes in a feeder portion or from the ground after falling through a feeding grate in an extended configuration. A wheeled transport portion may be used for transporting a feeder portion to predetermined locations using tow capable vehicles such as an UTV.
