I have caught deer in the push door type traps. I suggest fastening a 50 foot rope to the door of the trap and tieing it off to a tree about 50 feet away in the brush. You must allow for your door to close properly. You can release a deer from a distance without pressuring it by simply pulling the rope. If the deer survived the catch he should survive the release with no problem. CC

Worked on a ranch in Bradford, Tx and we had an older guy trapping hogs on it. Well he caught a massive buck in one of his traps. I didn't get to see it, but he said that it would hvae went over 180"! If i would hvae seen it, i would hvae gotten some pictures. Rumored that it had escaped from Jack Brittinghams place not to far from the ranch i worked on. We have caught many doe's in traps on a buddy's place.

We caught a doe once in the hog trap , it sounded like a ragging bull hitting the metal fencing pipe , got her out in one piece, she'd cut her nose a little. soured corn would be best, deer wont eat it. That was at home... Few years back at my cousins ranch we caught a ferral hog in the trap and it had a busted snare tightly around its snaught , don't know how it was eating because that snare was dug into its skin already, you could not even tell at first till you actually tried to open it's mouth...
