I figure by feeding and using a trap it will up the odds of a buck dropping his antlers on this property. And I like the bucket and hay bales idea for traps but not a fan of using wire. If theres any chance of injuring the deer then there is no reason to risk it just for some antlers.
Makes sense. If I were going to set one up I'd try the bungee method.

Set a few post and use bungees as the "fence"
