Any tips on using this stuff,I got the wallhanger & full rut gel. Any advice would be appreciated.

I like the Full Rut gel on scent wicks, hung 2-6 ft off the ground in 3 spots upwind of my stand, and hopefully, upwind of the trail I expect the deer to be on. I've never used the Wallhanger. We have  mostly runty bucks and I'm afraid a dominant buck scent might put them on alert. I also use the rut gel on a drag and try to run it through my shooting lanes. Good luck.

I have the same two and am still figuring out the best way to use them.  On advice from my brother in law who has used the full rut several seasons, I have been putting it on the toes of my boots and laying scent trails to and around my stand.  Have also been putting both in mock scrapes.  No effect on the scrapes so far that I have seen, but both bucks and does have been following my scent trails.  Just none of the shooters I've been looking for.  With this full moon approaching, I might have to lower my standards   :goldtooth: .

I have been using a piece of a stick to mix it up, put on the toes and then left the stick in a shooting lane.  Good luck and let me know what works for you.

I used the FullDraw on Saturday.  Saw 6 different buck throughout the day.  A couple of them were really working the licking branches I put it on.  Best response I have had for scent in a while.  More experimentation tomorrow, Fri, and Sat with pix to follow (hopefully).
