Abstract
Clover traps are commonly used for capturing wild deer (Odocoileus hemionus), particularly when the absence of open flat terrain precludes other methods. Clover traps can be inefficient because of non-target captures, escapes, and a reluctance of deer to enter the trap. To increase capture efficiency, we devised a small inexpensive drop-net for capturing targeted mule deer in steep forested terrain in British Columbia, Canada. We suggest that drop-netting may be more efficient, primarily by eliminating non-target captures. We recommend considering the use of drop-nets anywhere Clover trapping is used or considered.
