I see deer all year on my land (until I have my rifle).
I believe they are psychic!

This was taken by a friend of ours this season, it is a 21pt and scores in the 160 class Non typical Boone and Crocket. We have measured a 14 pt and a 150 class 10 pt this year. I have only been able to make it out hunting 4 times this year and have seen 4 bucks in the 110-130 class but didn't shoot. Keep hoping for bigger.

I'll take two! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
While on the Buck topic, does anyone know a source for antler traps that don't cost an arm&leg? Just in case someone does not know what I am talking about - they attach to the tree above feeders to lock the antlers during shedding. The ones I see now are $50~$100. I may try my luck at a homemade job. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Hey Buck,

I ask this question as a non-hunter and comepletely ignorant on the subject. When and why does one use an "antler trap"? Of course I presume the idea is to get a deer "trapped". I would hope this technique is only for capturing "problem" deer who may be doing damage to ones property. BTW, I am not a bleeding heart animal rights person. I just have never hunted and have no interest in it.

Deer shed their antlers every year. The fall off on the ground. A trap hooks the antlers and if they are ready to come off they get hung in the trap. If not the deer is able to pull away with a little struggling. This allows you to easily collect the anlters without hiking for hours and trying to find them on the ground after shedding.

Wal,
It's to get the antlers after the deer has shed them. Antlers are worth quite a bit of money

Robert in NY,

I copied and pasted the 21 pt buck and sent it to a friend at work.He's an avid hunter.

He's walking around mumbling and stumbling... "Want Bambi...Want Bambi".../w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
