So for those of you that use a rattle bag, what bag do you use. I use a bag too, but the one I use has the plastic dowels in it, and to me they just dont sound real. I dont remember who makes the bag I have.

Primos Rattling ANTLERS.

Got them for a steal, 5$, on a mismark. Second time that has happened at this gander mountain. ;)

Rattle "Bag" don't remember the brand but they are black plastic rods held together with rubber bands. Have worked pretty well, but I've got a pair of sheds I'm taking out next time to try out.

Rattle bag, no luck with it either!

I havent rattled yet. Waiting on a morning set up to try it. Got a set of real horns from deer Ive found in the woods that werent dried up

RE: What do you rattle with
 

I've used the bag with no success. It's the one with the woods dowels.

Gonna bring real ones out this year. They sound noticably different to me.

I figure bucks fight with real horns so why not use the real thing. I use the antlers of an eight point I shot a couple years ago. Just cut the brow tines off, those things can leave a finger pretty sore[:@]. I've had pretty good success. Usually rattle in 1 - 3 bucks a year.

Ewwww, Get your guns up Raiders.:D

Ive used bags with success, real antlers with success, and artificial antlers with success. I think the key is to be very limited in how much you use them.

RE: What do you rattle with
 

I think my rattle bag is made by Primos.

RE: What do you rattle with
 

Real Antlers - have a bag and it is convenient to carry- but do not like the sound near as good as the antlers.

RE: What do you rattle with
 

I've used a bag with decent success. I personally don't think a deer is going to be able to tell a big difference at a distance.

One thing I like about the rattle bags is that its somewhat difficult to make them really loud. To me, this may sound more like two small bucks fighting or sparring instead of two bigger racked bucks. I don't think you run the risk of spooking as many bucks this way. When I use them, I try to sound more like a couple of small six points fighting instead of really banging them loudly.

I think if a buck is going to come in to rattling it doesn't matter if you're using linkin' logs to rattle with. I use the real thing, but they are a pain in the butt to carry quietly and climb a tree with.

RE: What do you rattle with
 

I have a small set of Antlers, I took from one of the deer that I shot. I also have a rattle bag, but while they do imitate the sound pretty good, they are not the exact same.

I rattled a Buck in by dropping an arrow down through the branches,( by mistake of course)ting tang ting. I agree, if they are going to come in to rattling most any thing will work.I did use Horns but now I carry the bag.
