I saw that but as curious as deer are, I'd also say the opposite could be true as well and I don't gut where I hunt. I won't take that chance.
As do I, sort of... I have my Gutting area.... Deer frequent this area all the time at night though.... Its part of my hunting.... but I dont "hunt" it.

i have taken deer within ft of a gutpile, only 24 hours of leaving a gutpile in the woods. My friends agree too that a gutpile in the midwest timber means nothing to a deer.

I gut where they fall. Why drag out all that extra weight?
yotes had my gutpile gone by daybreak the next morning anyway. Ever want to study what your buck eats? Visit a demolished gutpile, and see what remains. My bucks gut pile sight looked like someone dumped out a cornpile. My neighbors standing corn must be a goldmine right about now.

Maybe I was the only one who thought the experiment was weak at best?........they used "Replicated" gutpiles rather than actual gutpiles from whitetail deer.

Same here. During slug season we party hunt and have left gut piles all over the place and shot deer the very next day feeding in close proximity to the previous days kill. The deer could care less. The only real risk is ifthe area is heavily populated by 'yotes and they could come in and stir up the deer. Most piles don't last a full 24 hours before they are nothing but a bloodspot on the dirt. Death is a fact of life in the wild.
