I've never heard of a "shed trap" working. Mostly they scare big bucks away.
If you could put some bait inside of a 10 foot round fence so that they have to jump over to get in--- the impact of landing tends to help deer drop antlers. That's why so many are found along fence rows.

Thanks for the heads up about shed traps. As far as I have been able to find, it doesn't really mention anything about them being illegal...
I have had really good luck with them elsewhere. I take high lb test clear fishing line a tie it tight between trees along a highly traveled path, usually works really well and doesn't scare the deer(from what I have noticed). Fence is not a bad idea but its not my house so I don't think the owner would appreciate me putting one in just to get some sheds

Okay kidding aside... I can see where high lbs test fishing line could create many unintended consequences... Rubber snubbers, not so much.
