RE: Couple of questions....
Planter, I've never had much luck with any kind of scents and I've tried them all. I've done much better just keeping clean and not putting any scent down of any kind so they will feel normal in my area. I'm sure scents work for some and in certain conditions and certain areas, just not in mine. Anyway, I think the rattle bags sound just like a bag of hard sticks. Not like any antlers I've heard. They are easier to carry, so hunters like that, but the manufacturers love to sell them. Stick with real antlers.
Oh, and the only scent I use now, is scent killer. LOL.
