TRAPPING BABY ELK TROUBLES??

[5ewer7een]

so I wanna try and trap some baby elk but I'm not really sure how to do it, it says to use the new large crate traps but im not sure how it works, i placed it down in a hole where i have baby elk and put berries in it but it doesnt seem to attract them, do i leave it for a day and come back or is there any other ways to do it???

(EDIT) finally was able to do it, so far for elk i think  you need to specifically use carrots and it worked finally, but i think there are some bugs with catching animals at the moment!!

I don't think elk eat berries, you have to use a food they will eat.

i tried berries and turnips but when i used the berries nothing happened and the turnips would just dissapear out of the crates, idk if they ate them or not but i havent figured it out yet

If it functions anything like the basket trap, you may need to try a few times before you successfully catch something.

I am not sure if the basket traps are working properly for deer/goats, I baited one 9 times with cabbage ( as instructed by Dana), there was 3 kids and not a single one was caught, but  all of the cabbages vanished.  Perhaps the reinforced crates are not working as intended either, I dnk.

I tested it with a carrot and was able to trap it.

Were you able to trap it first time? I tested with cabbages and kids, 2 traps, baited each 7 times, caught one on the 6th and 7th time.
