    Anybody use these? What results did you get if so? Any Pros/Cons? I'm thinking about getting one because it free's up space in my pack.

    I would never use one again I like real antlers. For sound quality nothing beats them.

    Yes! I've used my rattle bag and had great results. They probably don't sound as perfect as real antler but I've rattled in multiple bucks with mine. Pros are compact design (they fit right in your pack or pocket), cost (they are cheap), and concealment (white antlers in a tree can be spotted). Cons would be realism (don't sound as perfect as real thing), the bag can get wet (when the bag gets wet it seems to muffle the sound a little...I think the mesh style bags would be better for this reason). That's all I can really think of right now

    Only used once, I had a deer come in downwind of me so he took off before I got a chance to identify it. I'm sure it was a buck though
