bonecollector777 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 />This is the same as someone catching a bobcat in a trap... Except you are trying to kill Bobcats when they are in traps. You're not trying to get elk tangled up in some rope or wire possibly killing them just to try and get their horns pulled off before they are ready to drop. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
520HUNT Report post Posted February 17, 2014 Does anyone have any information on deer or elk getting stuck in shed traps and dying? I know guys in Texas and Missouri that put shed traps out every year and have never had a buck get stuck. I searched the internet looking for articles on this and there were none that I could find. I would venture to guess that most deer that die getting their antlers stuck are stuck in barbed wire fences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
out2hunt Report post Posted February 17, 2014 Wow shedhunter, sure got your panties bunched up over my question. And thank you for taking my inquiry and extrapolating my personal level of laziness and lack of ethics. While I appreciate your query, I do not understand the use of these rack traps. If you know of an area that holds bulls in the late late season, then you won't have a hard time walking around and picking them up! If you have no idea what your doing because the internet and mass media tell you need the next greatest contraption and you have actually considered it, I can't help you. Honestly, how do you intend for your sheds and trap not to be stolen? If there are elk in the area that the 600,000 other hunter's in the state havent checked, you might just getter done. I am only razzing you Grizzly because contraptions like this take the fun out of shed hunting. What you consider fun might need to be re-evaluated! Many Blessings, OUT2HUNT 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shooterpar Report post Posted February 21, 2014 This is exactly what is wrong with the hunting community, to each his own people. Just because it's not your idea of fun doesn't mean someone else wouldn't enjoy doing it. Might as well be on monstermuleys... Good luck to all you horn hunters out there!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLW Report post Posted February 21, 2014 no this is 1 reason why why they will try to legislate pickin up sheds. whether this idea is out of greed or pure laziness....... who are you to say when the horns should come off? sounds like harassment of wildlife to me which is against the law. the other reason is off road driving...................... get off your machine and walk.
