    I think the pictures will show just how well bucks can keep their antlers from getting caught up in stuff. And it's corn not crack the bucks may very well decide the corn isn't worth the trouble.

    I use bungees for my shed traps as well but have never had luck finding a shed. Good Luck

    The best shed traps I've ever seen were low growing and/or vigorous food plots. I find 99% of mine in bean stubble and/or clover. The constant action of them raising their heads and lowering back to eat tends to help them fall and the sheer amount of time they spend in the plot increases the probability of them losing them in or near the plot.

    Good point.

    That's one of the reasons I have waited until mid February to get one out.

    In the next two weeks most if not all bucks in my area will have dropped.

    Maybe be a waste of time.. I will never know till I have tried it.
