I would like to build a CHEAP antler trap. I want to collect some antlers. Maybe to rattle with.

rope around a feeder about 12" higher & about 12"infront of feeder
check local regulations first thou.

Why don't you just go look for the antlers???? instead of taking the chance of getting a buck snagged up.

I agree, It is alot more fun looking for them & you learn more about where they a traveling, trials they useing. you may even find a new location to hunt next fall

I seen this on another board. I don't know if it works but they said put a mineral lick between 2 bales of straw when the buck puts his head between the bales to lick the straw is supposed to catch the antlers.

i've never found any but i heard that u can take a box spring u know off a bed and burn it and then pore corn n the middle of it and when they go to eat it there antlers get stuck and fall off

a couple of these ideas will probably work.
I am going to try the one around the feeder. I am going to use some kind of bungee rope instead. The deer will be able to break it if they become entangled in it.
