[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 188313, member: 704"] A few years ago I read an article about antler tone. They said off the head antlers don't sound the same. They did have a cure, and I tried it and it appears to work. They cut about an inch off the end of each tine, then drilled a small hole about two inches deep into the end. For better or worse it did sound to me like it changed the tone some. For one thing it was less high pitched and sounded like larger antlers. It's not surprising to have small bucks come in to the rattling. I can't even remember the guys name anymore, but he did his masters on deer at Slade National Wildlife Refuge. Often when big bucks were fighting small bucks would sneak in and bread the doe. He called them sneaky Fu**&ers and wrote it that way in his thesis. No one thought it would get published that way, but it did. [/QUOTE]
