With the bags you can rattle soft, or hard, slow or fast and you can even do it with one hand if you don't want to get super aggressive. I'm not saying they sound same, because they do sound different I just don't think the deer really know the difference is all. If I was in a blind or on the ground sheds might be ok, but in a tree they are just a pain compared to bag.

I'm not claiming to be an expert either, I really don't rattle or use calls that much. I tend to set up where I know there will be deer and just let them stroll by and shoot them completely unaware until it's too late. I have rattled a few deer in though, I just couldn't get them close enough to shoot. I think rattling with a decoy would work well in my area. I hunt fairly open areas and once the deer get to the area they can hear, but don't see anything going on and I think it confuses them a little.
