Shed collecter

About this time of year Bucks start shedding their antlers. As you can see in this picture this little buck has dropped one side of his. So I came up with a way to collect them.


I built this trough feeder yesterday and if you will notice there are 2 strings around the four legs.
This is so the bucks will hang their antlers in the strings when they try and eat the corn. We will just have to see if it works. Hopefully The sheds will be laying there when I go and check it.




There is still alot of deer activity in this area. They will stay around as long as there is food. I put 100 pounds of corn in it.


There are 5 bucks in this one picture so hopefully I'll get all of their sheds.

You don't see this very often but they will fight on their hind legs.

  1. Trav, this is so cool! I didn't remember that they shed and that is funny you are after the horns. I bet you were excited to see that picture of them up on hind legs!

  2. What you going to do with them once you get some? Josh said you can make knives out of them. That's neat.
