Currently I use a set of natural antlers for rattling. It will be hard for me to stop using them because they have been effective, but they are a pain in the neck to carry around, and to keep quiet (when not in use). I want to look at a rattle bag.

Who can offer some positive reviews on specific models?

A dead buck skull found in woods ...road kill'.winter kill

Got it.
Just walk me through the basic process. So you are cutting sheds into 6-8" lengths, then adding skull bone sections, then fire it all into a Crown Royal bag? Is it that simple?

I think he is just cutting antlers off of skulls he finds in addition to sheds and cutting the antlers up.

I put mine in an old sock and tie it in a knot. I like how it keeps everything tight.

I have used alot of different bags. Woodwise makes a nice one and I also used Primos and I really like Knight& Hales pak rack . But most of the time I use a set of synthetic antlers from Woods and Water they are green in color and they work very well.

Pack rack here too. Used to carry sheds as well. Pack rack works perfectly.
