There's differing opinions (big surprise ) on here about antler traps. Some feel it presents too great of a risk in injurying a buck whose antlers aren't ready to drop yet and ends upgetting tangled up in it.

I posted the same question here several years ago and got many replies of, "Try doing it the old fashion way" and, "Improve your woodsmanship and find where they are", etc. etc. I took some of it to heart and now, if and when I try to manage where they fall, I simply put my corn in the middle of a thick stand of dogwood saplings I have on my property. The deer have to weave their way through the saplings forabout 15' or so,so if a buck has an antler that's ready to fall he's bound to hit it on one or more of the saplings before getting to the corn. I don't know for sure if they have as much of a chance of getting tangled in the saplings or not, but I would guess not.

Just my two cents.
