What's the best rattling device?

With all the choices out there, which do people think are the best. We have real antlers, fake antlers, rattle bag, and some sticks held together by rubber bands I saw in Wal Mart. I rubberd them together and they sounded pretty real. The rattle bag and sticks would take less movement and be less noticible. But do they sound as good? All opinions appreciated.

I myself have a set of real antler's and also a rattlin bag and have had great success with both, the bag like you said is less movement and easier to carry....good luck

For real deer use real horns. They would sound the most realistic.

Real horns or good condition sheds have worked the best for me. Rattlin bags maybe...but hard to tone vary, etc. I also like to rack saplings and the ground when rattlin' to bring more reality into the mix...so with the real horns I have all I need!
