An antler removal and collection device includes an antlered animal attractant holder adapted and constructed to hold an antlered animal attractant. The device also includes a flexible antler removal assembly mounted in proximity with the antlered animal attractant holder, the flexible antler removal assembly including at least one elastic antler removal element. The at least one elastic antler removal element is adapted and constructed to exert sufficient force to remove antlers that are ready to be shed by animals coming into proximity with the antlered animal attractant, but insufficient force to trap the antlered animal in the flexible antler removal assembly. The flexible antler removal assembly can include at least one frame assembly upon which the at least one elastic antler removal element is mounted. In an embodiment, the at least one frame assembly is provided as a pair of frame assemblies and a corresponding pair of elastic antler removal elements. Each of the frame assemblies can include an upper arm mounted above the antlered animal attractant holder, and a retaining hook mounted below the upper arm. The elastic antler removal elements can be configured as a plurality of elastic strap members connected between the upper arm and retaining hooks of the frame assemblies. In an alternative embodiment, the frame assembly are provided as a pair of generally concentric rings mounted to a feeding device.
