PineyBrake Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hi, I have heard from people and the Game and Fish about wrapping chicken wire around troughs to catch the sheds. Supposedly the horns get caught and when the buck pulls his head out, the horn will just stay in the wire if it is loose??? I dont know exactly how or when to start. I built some troughs and plan on building a couple more and feeding the deer out of them and try the wire thing whenit is time. Does anyone have any suggestions at all for me? Thanks!

toddyboman Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Not sure..... I guess you would want to put it above the trough somewhere... I would not put the chicken wire until late December early January. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetro Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I haven't heard of chicken wire, but I have heard of putting a pole or cross beam above the trough so when the deer lift their heads they're either getting a headache or the antlers are getting knocked off.
