Thanks for all the responses guys. I figured that I was more than likely using too much, but I wanted to get some other opinions. I was thinking the same thing the first time I used one this year, I try to walk in from the direction that I think the deer will not come in from, so I thought that the drag was not doing me any good. What I did do though when I got to my stand was, I walked around my tree one time and then walked past my stand a little ways, then came back. Again, thanks for your input.
