Moved and mine just evaporated. They were the last thing I packed, and I put them in a box of my wifes "decorator" junk so I knew they would be found when we got to the new house. No such luck. They don't have to be big, a forkhorn with a little heft would do. Bid for several crappy pairs on e-bay and as soon as I would bid, they would get popular get out of my price range fast!

Have you tried the artificial variety? Their feel and sound is identical to natural antlers. I think they cost around $10 or maybe a little more, I don't remember. Also, there are many "antlers in a bag" that I think are very realistic and more compact and concealable than bulky antlers. None of these is going to cost much more than shipping on a pair of real antlers. Just my 2 cents.

Try a rattle bag. You can them at Wally World for about $10.

I saw several set of rattling antlers laying along the highways in central Mo this weekend.

My first rattling antlers were two maple tree branches about 1" diameter stripped of all bark and they worked. I had deer comming right at us in 5 minutes. I made them while sitting in my stand and tried them out. BigBill
