Like Keith said, "IT ISN'T GOING TO BE HAPPY".
but if you catch one, I'd pay to see how you deal with him. Good luck with that.

It depends on what your purpose is. If you are trapping to relocate the deer, then a large net with a trip wire or an explosive closing device is good. Trapping deer is going to be tedious , expensive and dangerous.
I know you do not want to do this but the American Indians used a flint gourge, hidden inside a some natural food, the gourge was attached to a limber sapling with sinew. When the deer tried to swallow the bait the gourge was lodged in its throat and the deer was venison.
It may be most pratical to bait the deer with corn for a few weeks and then, at night use a tranquilizer gun to dart them. It is easy tp get close to deer that are baited at night.

Catching a deer is gonna be a very large task indeed. I have hunted my whole life and know how skiddish they are of people. Perhaps using a tranquilizer dart would be most effective. For getting good videotape in the offseason I use my own attractant which I just take a salt or mineral block and cover it with a mixture of molasses and peanut butter. What are you gonna do if you catch it?? It isn't gonna be happy.

I have to ask. How did you get this task and for what reason? Anyway...if you're set on doing this..there are actually quite a variety of traps out there, some commercially made. You can contact just about any wildlife management agency or fish and game agency for more info no. 1 on the traps and no 2. on the laws regarding use of same.

You may want to check game laws in your state..... it is illegal to trap deer in some states and you are only allowed to keep a pair of two in my state and only if hand caught. Good luck !

I don't have any intention of trapping a deer.
