RE: rattling bag or rattling antlers
I use the bag and have great success with it. This is my 3rd year rattling and every year I rattle in numerous bucks. Most are immature 1.5 and 2.5 yr. olds and the mature deer usually stay some distance away looking for the fight. Last week was the first time I ever had 2 mature bucks come into my rattling within bow range. I was using a decoy along with the setup too.
My dad uses the real antlers, and they sound better IMO. He has nothad any more luck than I when it comes to rattling though.They require more movement though, harder to pack, and are a little more difficult to use. To me the bag is the better all around option.

RE: rattling bag or rattling antlers
I usually take real antlers out there, they sound better and you can do more with them. I will however take the bag if im only bringing a few things out in the woods with me.
