Set Up an Antler Trap

[splitfinger]

I'm not sure if this will work or not but I thought I would give it a shot (no pun intended). Built this antler trap hoping one will be eating here when the antlers get loose. Just an old piece of a hay ring, a few holes drilled, 4 eye bolts, 3 pieces of rebar and 4 bungee cords with paracord to tighten.

Cool Idea........i've been thinking about doing an antler trap!

I tried a couple...hogs destroyed them

Does the winch serve a purpose or was it just attached to the piece of metal you were using?

Also, is the base of the vertical tube attached in some way?

I would bet its what is used to hoist the feeder above it that's not pictured

That should do it

I saw one on Northwoods Law TV show that looked real good. The guy ran T Posts every 5 ft or so for 20 yds and then ran 3 ft high chain link fence along it and poured corn all along it.

Correct. My winch up feeder is connected to the vertical bar and winch.

Yes! Jack County using T-POST and Cattle panel in a "V" shape.

For me...not yet. I've tried it a few times with the cattle panel in a "W" but no success. Thought I would give this a try if any bucks are left. You know what they say...There are no deer inn East Texas.
