I have had success with both. I shot a 152'' 11 that I rattled in, and also shot a 110'' 8 pt. that I rattled in. Last weekend I tried rattling and the can.... but only had success with the can. I called 5 bucks in with it, 4 of them would have scored over 110''. The one big one I called in was a upper 140s 10 pt, but he didn't offer me a shot.
