I've used real antlers, fake antlers, plastic stick bags, and wood stick bags. I don't think it matters which you use, as long as your timing is right. I've had success with all, but only in the immediate pre-rut and active rut phases. Otherwise, the bucks don't seem to pay a lot of attention - mainly because there's not too much competition. We've got a lot of does in MS so the bucks really don't have to fight over the hot ladies very much.
