I like to soak mine in waterfor 24 hours before using them and then do the same thing periodicly throughout the season

I put mine back on my deers head so they grow bigger and stronger.
I usually just put mine in my hunting corner in my garage. Usually at the bottom of every thing.

I don't rattle with horns, not very effective from my experience in NH or talking with others from my area.
Probably too high of a doe ratio???
I have tried a rattling bag with no success as I get bored on stand for many hours for many days...
The only rack I don't have a skull cap or mount done on, is a 7" spike from a few years back and often thought they could be used for chop sticks!!
So there's another thread...
