I' m new here so bear with me. I haven' t tried rattling in my short years of deer hunting, but would like to give it a try. I do have 3 or 4 sets of natural antlers that I could use. An 8, 9, and 6 point set is what I would be willing to use from my collection. But, do natural antlers sound better than the plastic, wood, etc. rattling bags that they sell?

I don' t know where I saw this, but a show on TV said to soak the natural antlers in water before using them...that it gave them a more realistic sound. I' m all for sounding more natural...but I' m also for ease of transportation and would like to be able to use a rattling bag if there isn' t much difference in the sounds of these bags vs. natural.

What do you all use and why?
