I can't decide
Haven't seen any monsters, but this area is capable of producing them. It's still archery season.

Make the buck think theres a new hot babe, with a rivel, he needs to take care of.

RE: Which would you drag?
I came up with a alternative way of establishing a "drag". I use Qtips soaked in liquid of choice thrown randomly along my path in. It just seems to me that a continuous line is unrealistic. I mean can you really expect a hot doe to pee continuously for a mile??? Plus I think a continuous line makes it super easy for a buck to follow allowing him to divert attention to his surroundings. A buck will find my broken trail but have to spend more effort in following it and less effort on me drawing my bow or raising my gun. Just my two cents.

RE: Which would you drag?
I went in dragging both.
Was worried that the drag lines would tangle and cause me to trip but it worked out OK because one was shorter than the other.
It made me hunt harder because my expectations were high.
Saw nothing today. spent midday putting up a stand in a different location.
