HORIZONTAL FEED STORAGE SYSTEM

A horizontal feed storage system may comprise an elongated feed container having a length and a width, wherein the length is at least ten times greater than the width. The elongated feed container may have a fill opening through which the feed is deposited into the elongated feed container and a feed removal opening through which feed is removed from the elongated feed container. The elongated feed container may be movable. The elongated feed container may include multiple conveyance mechanisms disposed within the elongated feed container. The multiple conveyance mechanisms may include a first conveyance mechanism and a second conveyance mechanism, wherein the first conveyance mechanism may displace feed by moving the feed in a first direction away from the fill opening, and/or the second conveyance mechanism may displace feed by moving the feed in a second direction toward the feed removal opening.

A feed supply system used in distributing feed grain from a feed tank includes a boot unloader coupled to an upstream end of at least one conveyor tube in fluid communication with a downwardly opening aperture of the feed tank. The boot unloader includes an unloader body formed of a front panel and a rear panel to form a receiving portion into which feed grain flows from the feed tank. At least one auger is partially received in the unloader body and extends from the unloader body into a respective conveyor tube. The auger is secured to the rear panel with an end bearing and has a helical flighting configured to rotate about an auger axis. An auger retention mechanism extends between the front panel and the rear panel of the boot unloader and positioned above the auger axis so that the auger retention mechanism prevents the flighting from deforming upwards within the boot unloader.

An animal feeding apparatus for deer and other wildlife. Feed or bait is stored in a fodder storage component and directed to a feeding location remote from the food supply via a fodder delivery component without the need to rely on a gravity feed system. The animal feeding apparatus is camouflaged to prevent deterring animals from approaching the feeding location. An auger of the fodder delivery component directs the flow of feed from the fodder storage component to the feeding location. The animal feeding apparatus is controllable via a controller unit attached to the fodder storage component or remotely via a wireless controller.
