Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Gut em in the woods or back at camp?

We hunt our own place and have for decades and I've always gutted them where they fell. A gut pile won't spook deer...have no idea where that comes from. Besides, I like to shoot the yodel dogs off the gut piles. Gut piles won't establish coyotes...they do and have done just fine establishing themselves about everywhere without the benefit of gut piles. If gut piles established coyotes then every rancher in the US would have to be out gathering the placenta of cows calving to prevent their establishment...and that ain't gonna happen. Same goes for deer and every creature that births on the ground. Gut piles establishing coyotes is a crock of hooey.
