RE: Drag Cloths
Wear rubber boots and don't worry about trying to hide your scent when you walk in. It may alert deer, but may not spook them! If you have rubber boots, I wouldn't worry about trying to hide/disguise your scent trail to your stand. take a direct route, hopefully without spooking deer on the way, avoid touching weeds, limbs and other vegetation.
You could use some curiousity scent around your stand, it may stop a deer for a moment and give you a shot opportunity! Just place it in your shooting window, so if it does work, you'll have a shot when the deer stops to investigate!
