I have heard of guys burning off an old spring mattress, staking it in the ground, and then baiting it with corn. But don't be suprised if you don't get much from them, IMO you are better off walking. It's good excersise, and once you fiugure out all of the tricks, yes there are tricks, you will be finding more antlers than you know what to do with. Plus, you better make sure it's legal before you try it. Good luck.
