RE: rattling bag or rattling antlers
Real antlers are the best by far. I have a set of the fake ones too and they sound to "plastic-ie" (yeah how do you spell that one) I got a set of the primos rattle bag a week or so ago. I've rattled up a button buck and 4 does in two sittings with it. It soulds better than the plastic horns IMO. Hopefully big boy shows up next!!

I prefer a rattling bag just because it is easier to bring with, and easier to use if you have a buck near you. My bag seems to work fine, seeing as I rattled in a 109'' and a 162'' last year.

i like real antlers the best, and not just any size either, they have to be from at least a nice size 2.5 yr old or 3.5 yr old....i think some professional hunters use the bags b/c of their sponsors.....but i do think the bags work also.

i think a real set of antlers are the best. but my dad likes the bag, and we hunted the same property last nite. i could hear him rattling, and it didnt sound bad. i like how you can just tickle the tines together wit a real set though.

should i get the wood bag which is cheaper or the slightly more hard plastic bag which to me sounds alittle better

I like the bag for portability. I've rattled in one deer though so I can't say much to it's effectivness. I ended up throwing mine out because the bag and or sticks inside started to stink real bad.
