I am looking for any pics or designs for antler traps. Also have you had much sucess with your trap?

Thanks

Run some searches here. I know there was a thread or two on here last year covering this topic. I think Buckmaster started a thread and he made a trap.

yes, i did. shoot me a message and ill get you the plans and pictures of it.

While in College we constructed traps out of hay bales - we'd surround some feed with the hay bales (make like a box out of the hay bales )then stack em up leaving an opening just big enough for the heads of the deer to stick through to the feed. when the bucks that still have antlers on attempt to reach in and grab some feed they hang up their antlers on the hay and they fall off to the ground - worked great - probably got about 12 different bucks sheds this way from spikes to a nice 10 pointer.. good luck

pic?

field and stream had a photo in thier last issue

I dont have any pics of this set up - ive been out of school a few years now - let me better describe it for you though -

start with a feed trough about 2 ' off the ground and about 3 feet long - we would feed with this set up for about 2 weeks to get the animals comfortable with the area. then we would surround the trough with 4 hay bales - box it in.... then you build up with the hay bales leaving a window with an area just big enough for the deer to fit their heads through without antlers. and when the bucks try to get in like the does can they catch the anlers on the hay and the pressure knocks the antlers off- ill make one in the next few weeks if i get a chance to get some hay and ill show you pics then.
