I believe it would be legal. That doesnt make it right either. I think there is just too much of a risk of injuring or killing the elk when there antlers tangle in the fish netting. :bdid:

Fishnet wouldnt be the way to do it; they would end up tangled an then you got a mess on your hands that you wouldnt want to deal with.  Point is to think of somthing that would cause friction but not tangle them or trap the elk itself if the horns not ready to come off. If you trapped or endangered the elk itself then you would be lookin at somthing illegal (Though im pretty positive an antler trap itself is not illegal).  I'd rather just watch them an hike.

Fish net is a horrible idea. For elk wouldnt your standard cow feeder work? It would have to be on private land obviously since this would be a real pig to take into the woods somewhere. They do make break down feeders and as long as they have the vertical bars I think they would work. I'm still very skeptical as to the morality of the antler catcher concept and have a feeling this thread is going to go downhill pretty quick.

It would be animal harassment and illegal, I'm quite sure. :bdid:

fish net would be a horrible idea. chain link would be better but all in all shed traps wont be as productive as you think. its an alright thought but those sheds fall off whenever theyre ready. trying to force them off can be dangerous to the animal. better off hiking your butt off and saving time building shed traps because youlll end up hiking any ways bud.
