How do deer behave around the trap?

Deer typically do well around the netting. Deer will feed around the trap during the conditioning phase and may even jump in and out to feed. Just make sure once the trap is set to keep all your bait in the center, so animals aren’t feeding against the edge of the net. Occasionally a deer may need to be let out and there is a very small risk of bucks getting their antlers tangled in the netting.
