I have both the real thing and the bag. I almost never use the real antlers now. The bags are much more convenient and bucks are easily fooled, even if the sound is not spot on. I hang mine in the tree next to me, so I can easily reach it and make a few clicks with one hand, while still holding my bow. I' ve been able to do this with deer in sight, and make almost no movement. If you practice with them, they can be quite realistic.
