found half a nice 8 right next to the feeder today- still had blood on the stub.
probably a 14-15ish". Heavy beamed, one tine broken off G4 about 7" long.
cool

anyone have plans for somekind of homemade antler trap??

No plans but am interested in hearing some.

I've never made one but I've seen them. You take 3 fenceposts and put them in the ground to create the 3 points on a V. Take some fencing material and attach it to the first post wrap it around the bottom of the V and attach it to the other post. Basically you are making a sharp corner out of fenceposts and fence. Pour some corn on the ground in the corner and when a buck feeds in it, his antlers tap against the fence knocking off any loose ones. You can also use more posts and create W's that have 3 corners to put corn in.

I saw one that was so simple it was almost stupid.

5 gallon bucket if grain/corn...whatever with 3 black bungee tie downs suspending it from a limb.
They get theyr'e antler's half way stuck, freak out and drop them right there.
