Gut Piles
« on: Oct 20, 2012, 07:37:28 AM »
just looking for opinions or peoples ideas of where to gut a deer.  i usually drag the deer a good distance away from my blind to gut it.  does a gut pile have any bearing on deer movement?  will they deter a deer from an area?

First welcome to the site....

I dont think it bothers them to much but it dont hurt to drag it off a ways...   Im sure they run across dead things in the woods all the time.....   And around here a gut pile only lasts a day or two before its gone..

I don't think it bothers them. I've shot deer my coyote bait pile, which was a pile of dead deer.

Always drag mine way out of the area. I have seen deer spook from a gut pile or the smell of blood.

I have also seen crows and turkey vultures squawkin and carryin on at a gut pile re route deer movement.  Deer came out saw the commotion and chose a different feeding area.

I always drag the deer to where i can gut it and leave the pile where it will not in any way effect my hunt.

Just my opinion...if the deer you shoot with an arow travels 50-100 yds from where you hit it,,,,sounds like a good enough distance away..and with the yotes around ..usually doesn't make the night
