there is no set order as to which elk use the wallow. its basically a first come first served basis. now if a small bull is using the wallow and a bigger bull comes in hell vacate the wallow.

now as far as using a drag rag i dont think it would hurt your setup if you were going to be sitting a stand. having scent out there is a good thing. i usually just put it on my boots. i prefer using the gel type scents. they dont evaporate quite as quickly and the best thing is that they dont attract the amount of flies like the liquid does.
