I hunt very clean and bag everything in plastic after a good scent free wash and a day hanging in the back 40. I wear coveralls alot and they don't go on until I reach the stand area and the clothes I walk out in are scent free too and always wear clean rubber boots.

I have used real antler rattles and more than one kind of bag with just about zippo reactions. Sounds like a bag of sticks to me and yourright about lugging a matching set of horns into the woods. Like my excal does not hang up in the brush enough...

Scents have worked for me ( or at least I think they have ) so maybe I will try Mrs Doe Pee but gonna wait a week or twob4 using any estrus stuff..Although it might lure in a YOUNG unsuspecting buck which are one of my favorite.

This is all BULL%$&% as my bow season doesn't even open untill monday.
