Potential multi page thread warning!!
I'm opposed to these. Biologists have chimed in on here in the past regarding potential health issues with the antlers getting knocked off prematurely. Why bother risking potential health issues to the deer? Do we really need shed antlers that bad?
Geez i just looked at the picture. What happens when a deer gets tangled up in that and dies?
Keep that mess out of the woods.

Looks like a perfect spot to find a dead buck that was eaten alive by yotes.

Suggestion for those that think it "will work like a charm". Do this if you feel the need. Put a low, easily hopped over, fence up. Make it about 6 square feet. Bucks will hop the fence and if their antlers are ready to shed they will simply fall off. Not get yanked off.

Collecting Antlers

Finding the simple treasures of shed deer or elk antlers can brighten up a casual winter hike in the woods (Fig. 4). Although antler hunting season gets under way in late winter, because most bucks and some bulls have shed them then, biologists recommend delaying serious antler hunting to late spring to avoid inadvertently harassing animals on winter range.

Collecting naturally shed deer and elk antlers is legal, but there are some ethical considerations to keep in mind and a few places that are restricted or off-limits. The easiest antler hunting is, of course, where deer or elk concentrate in the winter. But if many antler hunters descend on that area before wintering animals have left, the disturbance can threaten their survival at the harshest time of year.

Public lands across the state may have rules, so antler hunters should do their homework before going afield. By long-standing policy, shed antlers or anything else naturally found in national parks cannot be removed.

Pman it does say that natural she'd is legal.  In no way does it say that the ops pic would be illegal.  Not saying it's not printed elsewhere but what you posted just doesn't say it.

I believe Bigtex may have showed us the regulation last year. Possibly it's considered animal harassment.  :dunno:

This idea is ugly.

It doesn't matter if it is legal or not.  Each of us should demonstrate common sense ethics when enjoying the great outdoors.  You can't trust the law to protect our valuable opportunities.  It is up to us as individuals.  If you fill your truck with antlers, perhaps you are taking more than your share.  If you fill your freezer with wild caught salmon, maybe you should consider whether the resource is sustainable.  Legal or not, if you use bad judgement, the resource will suffer.

Legal has nothing to do with it, so don't be fooled.  Rounding up at Cabela's for conservation isn't gonna help either.  It's our job protect outdoor opportunities, and to promote good stewardship.

I have a nice pile of sheds and they took many miles of boot leather to get them and are held in high regard as memories of some great trips of the past
