How many of you guys use them and do they work? Also do you redip them half way through when your dragging them?

Personally, I'd save your money. If you shoot a doe off her tarsals and use those. Store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer.

I know a guy who did this every year. Said it worked, but never tried it myself. I have used drags the last several years, but never saw a buck following it. I would drag it off to the side of my path with either a stick or attached to my bow. I also stopped to re-dip/spray with scent every so often, especially at all the trails I would intersect on my way to the stand. Then just hang up as another scent wick. I also have tried squirting scent onto a trail, but only saw it work once (was using Tinks 69). This year I'm probably going to skip the drag.

I just spray my boots with buck bomb & walk in have had bucks follow my path a few times But it is hit & miss like every aspect of hunting.Nothing works 100% of the time that isn't going to happen.But as far as the tarsal glands off a doe go.I have used them before also.I shot a buck 20 yards away with his head down to the ground sniffing the tarsals I placed there.

I had a young buck follow my drag all the way to my stand last weekend. I though he might climb up my ladder with me! Ha! I hung it on the bottom step so I wouldn't forget it. Next time I'm dropping it 10 yards out. I'll put it this way. For as cheap as they are to buy why wouldn't you use a sent drag. If all it does is mask your human scent then mission accomplished. It definitely isn't going to hurt your hunt! Good luck hunting guys!
