I dont keep them in there... just to catch or hold temporarily

For the stags that are jumpy I will usually just flip the pen. When I lift the pen over they will “usually” go further away so they will be standing on the wire that was the front of the pen. Then I grab them or if they are real jumpy I’ll crouch down and pull the pen back down with me inside.
I’m agile like cat.

good idea, catch them against the roof.

Ima build 4x4x4 frames use welded wire, hardware cloth on bottom, and tarps so they can't see each other when I go to do pens for upcoming season. Atleast that's what I have in my head planed out for now for ones I'll keep.

I didn't know I was the only one with doors. I do like them though. I think I'll keep using doors too

 

[SOHC-FTW]

I have doors on all of mine as well.

 

[Texicano]

Naw I have doors too, and use this net to catch the ones in the round grow out pens

 

[SOHC-FTW]

No where near 46 pens though. I've got 4 domes, 3 wooden/metal pens I've built for birds the 12x12 kennel and the coop and run for the layers.

If its 4ft tall Id go with side door. hard to reach at that height.

I try catching from bottom sometimes... but it wouldn't work if it was perfectly round, because arms arent long enough to reach to other side. I bend into oval to reach. And Always that chance they bust out from under.

With a 10' piece of conduit, the diameter is just under 4' and I was planning on using 36" high wire. Most of mine are a little shorter.
