Whats the best way to carry rattling antlers?

[iowabucks]

I have a set of 10 point antlers i use to rattle with. I think they sound better than rattle bags or synthetic antlers. I'm trying to figure out the best way to carry them in and out of the field. I don't need to carry something extra in my hands, and i have put them in my Rocky backpack (average size backpack), but they take up way too much space inside and don't make it very comfortable on the back. I see many people have them stapped to the outside of their backpack. Looking at mine, i don't see any way of doing it unless i attach strings/ropes, or some velcro or something.

How does everyone else do it?

My method's pretty boring but I have them tied together and just throw them over my right shoulder. One hangs up front, one on my backside. Takes the chances of them banging together out of play.

I strap mine to the outside of my Badlands 2200 to help keep my clothes nice and tight. Now, I have two right sided antlers because they fit together better so anyone carrying a matched set or a left and right antler will have a little more difficulty.

carry mine in a 2200 as well. I have one of DOR's straps that keep them dead quiet.

Ever see the small bunge cords (4-6") that have the plastic ball on the end of them? That's what I use to strap them together and to my LW stand. Work great.

I always paint mine dark brown, so they don't look like sore thumb in the tree, and strap them to my badlands or use bungee straps.

I drilled a hole through the ends of mine and use a string to tie them together, keeping the string long enough to still effectively rattle. I use some small velcro pieces to secure them together in transport and secure them to the outside of my pack. I have also secure them to the seat on my climber as well, which worked great.
