Rattle Bag Or Horns
 
I am going to try Rattling this year. I was wondering what you all think is the best to use. I see alot of advantages with the bag. But is it the same effect?

I've used both. I have just had better luck with the horns!

A bag doesn't sound any where near as good as real horns. They just offer a huge conveniencefactor over toting a real set of horns into the woods with you.

I prefer real horns but use a bag most of the time but only for the conveniencefactor.

Horns!

Only thing I don't like about them is they are awkward to carry in my bag. Actually had one point bust through my bag this year.

I need a bigger bag, but then I might as well be carrying samsonite with me. Unfortunately, I'm a gimmick junkie!

Can't beat the sound of the real thing. The bag is just compact. You'll have to make the choise.

I prefer a rattle bag. Mostly because it is easier to carry out and handle. The rattle back from Knight and Hale is the one I use and I have rattled in about 5 or 6 bucks between this year and last. They claim to 'engineer' the 'blocks' in the rattle back to give a very accurate rattle soundof real antlers. But opinions are like A$$ holes, everyone has one.

I prefer the sound of real bone..........however I'll use a bag if I already have the buck in sight and need to draw him closer. A bag can be used one handed against your leg with minimal movement to give away your location.
