Bow4elk, you are correct in pictorial, other than antlers being too small  :chuckle:

I saw a pic of one in a magazine long ago. It was a basic feeder type that had bungee cords stretched back and forth to knock the LOOSE antlers off. The explanation with using bungee was that if the antlers were not ready to come off it wouldn't take them off prematurely.

great ideas, thanks again.  I have also seen pics of tires hanging from a tree but was concerned about them getting stuck on the deer

That's a great idea. I'll have to make up a few maybe tomorrow and send with my dad over to his 40 on the eastside with him when he goes this weekend.

How can you keep the does from eating all the bait first?

There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.

I  think I'm going to make one of those and put it over by my cabin. I figure I can make one for under 70 bucks, I'm sure not going to buy one for a few hundred if I can make it myself. Thanks for posting the link coriantonk.
