[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3168620, member: 17"] The best rack traps I've ever seen were not designed as rack traps. They were designed to keep wild hogs out of feeding areas. These "rack traps" were simply hog-wire fences about 3 feet tall surrounding feeders and food plots. These fences were low enough that even fawns could easily jump them, but hogs could not. The "jolt" of hitting the ground as bucks jumped the low-fence was just enough to knock off antlers ready to fall off. All a person had to do was walk the fences and find all the dropped antlers. Examination of these antlers showed almost none had pedicle material attached, suggesting the "jolt" that knocks them off is not enough to tear away antlers not ready to fall off naturally. [/QUOTE]
