What is your opinion on the rattle bags vs real antlers?

Heading east in a week and a half to hunt whitetail for the first time.

 There's just no way with a bag to create the volume needed in the mountains. I'm sure you could find a nice set of sheds for sale online.
 I learned very quickly that the majority of rattling done on TV shows is pure garbage. Especially rattle bags.

That's a good thread! I'm all amped up to seriously try and rattle in a good buck in a week.

Does the size of the antlers matter? I have some blacktail ones I could use, but they are just small 2 and 3 points...

I have always used real shed antlers. A couple of weeks ago I had my wife pick me up a Primos rattlin bag because packing real antlers can be a pain in the butt (literally and figuratively).  Let's just say that it was sent back to the store. Holy crap what a pile of junk. They sound exactly like what they are made of and nothing like real antlers. What a joke!  I will be packing real antlers from now on.

One of my favorite threads. 3nails you almost need to make a short video of one of your rattling sessions and post it on here just to show your technique in action. Goodluck this season

I've got a half a dozen of them on an sd card and can't figure out how to load them on the computer. I can watch them on the camcorder but when I put it on the computer I can't see the videos, only the pictures. I just watched me passing up a buck I should have shot!
